    Finally, the dotfiles are also installed by Chezmoi into the current user's home directory. This step needs the Bitwarden account to restore the SSH keys.

    Fast, secure, efficient backup program

    In the future I'm planning to restore my working folder and other files (pictures, documents, etc) from a backup made with restic. I plan to do a separated post for this.

  • ohmyzsh

Includes 300+ optional plugins (rails, git, macOS, hub, docker, homebrew, node, php, python, etc), 140+ themes to spice up your morning, and an auto-update tool so that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.

    🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

    When you gain access to the desktop, you could now follow the next steps that will installs and configure most of the software I use on my personal macOS using Homebrew and Chezmoi.

  • Bitwarden

    The core infrastructure backend (API, database, Docker, etc). (by bitwarden)

    The script will ask you for your Bitwarden account. This is where I store my secrets (i.e. SSH keys).
