Install
brew install pyenv
brew install pyenv-virtualenv

pip install -upgrade pip
Open a terminal window and type:
Check the latest nvm

Now that nvm is installed, we want to list the available versions, type:
nvm ls-remote
nvm install node
nvm install --lts
Check that Node is installed, type
node --version

Git is the version control system that we will use throughout the course. It is one of the most powerful tools you will use as a developer.
brew install git/usr/bin/git by checking which git and git --version git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
Instead to have a global user email, we can set a different identity per repo.
git config --global --unset-all user.email
Set local config per repo
git config --global --add user.useConfigOnly true
Before the first commit on repo
git config --local --add user.email mail@example.com
maingit config --global init.defaultBranch main
git show plugin (Delta)Delta provides language syntax-highlighting, within-line insertion/deletion detection, and restructured diff output for git on the command line.
brew install git-delta
Configure git to use delta adding the following to .gitconfig:

[interactive]
diffFilter = delta --color-only
[delta]
features = side-by-side line-numbers decorations
whitespace-error-style = 22 reverse
[delta "decorations"]

git-cleanBased on # Git Remove tracking branches no longer on remotE https://stackoverflow.com/a/33548037/4842303
Create a fish file function
zed ~/.config/fish/functions/git_clean.fish
Add the following function
function git-clean
git fetch -p
for branch in (git for-each-ref --format '%(refname) %(upstream:track)' refs/heads | awk '$2 == "[gone]" {sub("refs/heads/", "", $1); print $1}')
git branch -D $branch
end
end
.gitignoreThere are a few files that we don’t want Git to track. We can specifically ignore them by adding the files to a global .gitignore file.
.DS_Store files are used by Mac OS X to store folder specific metadata information. They are different for every mac, it means that they often cause conflicts in version controlled folders.
Since we never want to track .DS_Store files, we can make a global .gitignore file, and tell git to use it for all repositories:
echo .DS_Store >> ~/.gitignore_global
git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global
In the same way, we want to never track the contents of our uploads folder in Rails (which usually contain images or media that we have uploaded during testing) or our node_modules or bower_components.
echo "/public/uploads/\nnode_modules/\nbower_components/" >> ~/.gitignore_global
Enable auto-correct the suggested command will run after a short delay to give you the chance to cancel the command if it is not what you intended
git config --global help.autocorrect 20
GitHub is a web-based Git repository hosting service. It allows us to keep a remote version of our version-controlled projects. When we push and pull from Git, we don’t want to always have to login to verify who we are. Therefore, what we can do is generate and use something called an SSH key. SSH keys are a way to identify trusted computers, without involving passwords.
ls -al ~/.ssh
Check the directory listing to see if you have files named either id_rsa.pub or id_dsa.pub. If you have either of those files you can skip to the step ‘add your SSH key to Github’.
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@example.com"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
key field - do not add or remove and characters or whitespace to the keyAdd key and check everything works in the terminal by typing:

During the course, we will be doing a lot of navigating using our keyboards. By default, the speed of the curson on a Mac is a little too slow. Let’s increase the speed of the cursor by going to:
