OS Settings

  • Trackpad: Tab to Click

    System Preferences > Trackpad > Point & Click tab > check “Tap to click”

  • Scroll bar: show when scrolling

    System Preferences > General > check “Show scroll bars: When scrolling”

    I like this setting because the Finder will look less cluttered. Otherwise, there will be obnoxious grey columns of scroll bars in the Finder windows.

Programming

  • Install Homebrew: tool to install software on mac
  • Git: version control 
    brew install git
  • Visual Studio Code: powerful editor

  • Xcode Command Line Tools

    Some OS comes with Xcode pre-installed, check if you have it:

    xcode-select -p

    If you see a path like /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools, you have it installed.

    If you don’t have it, you can install it with:

    xcode-select --install
