This is how I set up a new mac for development.

Tweaks

Trackpad

  • Tab to click: System Preference > Track pad. Enable Tab to click

  • Three finger drag: System Preference > Accessibility > Pointer Control > Trackpad options > Enable dragging. Choose Three finger drag

Function keys

- Use function keys without `fn`. As developer, I use function keys much more often than volume control. System Preference > Keyboard > Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys

Dock

  • Turn hiding on so that it hides when your cursor is not at the bottom

Apps

Download and install apps

Instructions

  • Add private NuGet package source

    • Create a Nuget.Config in the root directory of the code repositories. I did it by copying an existing config file. cp ./Api/NuGet.Config .g

    • dotnet nuget update source Private-Packages --username " " --password <PAT> --store-password-in-clear-text --configfile ./NuGet.Config
