Initiate MacBook after fresh install

Download xcode developer tools

Open terminal and run this anywhere

git init

It will detect that we don't have xcode developer tools, after that follow the daemon gui installer

Setup Nix

First go to nix-darwin repo

Install nix using lix installer just like in the prerequisites

Somehow the first install always fail, and it will succeed on the second one

Next follow the getting started section using flakes.

Follow them all manually until we have darwin-rebuild cli installed.

After that go to bryanprimus/nixos-config, copy the flake.nix content manually and paste to our newly setup nix-darwin config locally.

Install rosetta next

/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license

Lastly run

sudo darwin-rebuild switch

Setup git

We need to set ssh keys into our local, or you can generate from the start if you want to by following this guide

Pre-stored ssh keys

vi ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

# paste public keys here

and then

vi ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

# paste correctly formatted private key here

Allow permission to that private key

chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

Check the connection

ssh -T git@github.com

It should say something like

Hi <your-username>! You've successfully authenticated...
