New MacBook Checklist

Add Software:

  • "Appearance=>Show per-pane title bar"=false
  • "Profiles=>Terminal=>Scrollback"=20000
  • "Profiles=>Terminal=>Silence Bell"=true
  • "Profiles=>Session=>Prompt Before Closing"=Always
  • "Pointer=>Focus Follows Mouse"=true

Disable trigger-happy trackpad actions:

• Trackpad => "Tap to click" = false
• Trackpad => "More Gestures" tab => "Swipe between pages" = Off

Pushing to Repo

From https://github.com/settings/token, "Generate new token" and create a classic token.

Running git push prompts for username (eg, "ddopson@gmail.com") and password. Provide the secret token as the password.

This caches the token in the repo (maybe?), such that subsequent pushes work.
