Go to System Settings → Users and Groups → click with two fingers on your user, select Advanced settings.

here check User name - that is real login. If you don't like, it's better to create new user

Open System Settings, click at the top on user. Enter login and password of your Apple account. After that enter 2FA code from SMS.

And after that Apple will require you to enter password from one of your old computers! Be sure to have old computer nearby if you can! Do not wipe it before you setup Apple user on new computer!

1. Open Safari
2. Menu Safari → Create Profile..
3. Click Start Using Profiles

Now configure at least 2 profiles: Work, Personal

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

First install CLI tool mas:

brew install mas

Now you can search for programs with

mas search nicetool

Install programs with

mas install <app-id> ...

list of useful programs and app-ids:

Create file Brewfile:

Brewfile

# Main, always install
brew "mas"
brew "tree"
brew "bash"
brew "bash-completion@2"
brew "bat"
brew "coreutils"
brew "direnv"
brew "z"
brew "jq"
brew "yq"
brew "lynx"
brew "midnight-commander"
brew "htop"
brew "p7zip"
brew "pipenv"
brew "pipx"
brew "pkgconf"
brew "pv"
brew "pwgen"
brew "sf-pwgen"
brew "speedtest-cli"
brew "telnet"
brew "wget"
brew "git"
brew "ykman"
brew "coreutils"
brew "neofetch"
brew "eza"
# Next GUI programs
cask "iterm2"
cask "bitwarden"
cask "firefox"
cask "font-fira-code"
cask "font-fira-mono"
cask "font-jetbrains-mono-nerd-font"
cask "iterm2"
cask "keepassxc"
cask "libreoffice"
cask "obsidian"
cask "spotify"
cask "syncthing-app"
cask "textmate"
cask "viber"
cask "vlc"
cask "zoom"
# And finally install from Apple Store
mas "Time out", id: 402592703

and install programs from this file with

brew bundle

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git \
${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k

After that open ~/.zshrc and change theme (comment existing):

ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"

now exit terminal and open it again (should be ZSH!). Now Powerlevel 10k configurator script must start automatically. Answers:

Let's add plugins zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting:

brew install zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting
mkdir -pv ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/{zsh-autosuggestions,zsh-syntax-highlighting}
ln -s $(brew --prefix)/share/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.plugin.zsh
ln -s $(brew --prefix)/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.plugin.zsh

To configure Brewfile, add to beginning of .zshrc:

# --- macOS brew ---
if [[ "$(uname)" == "Darwin" ]]; then
    # Improve PATH, MANPATH, INFOPATH
    if [[ -x /opt/homebrew/bin/brew ]]; then
        eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
    elif [[ -x /usr/local/bin/brew ]]; then
        eval "$(/usr/local/bin/brew shellenv)"
    fi
fi

After “#export PATH” line add next block:

typeset -U path

path=(
  $HOME/.local/bin
  $HOME/bin
  $path
)

Now scroll to “plugins=” and change to:

plugins=(
  git
  terraform
  direnv
  z
  zsh-autosuggestions
  zsh-syntax-highlighting
)

remove git and terraform for personal computer

Create new profile by duplicating default one.

In Text tab:

Font: JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono
Boldness: Medium (or play yourself)
Size: 15-16

Consider setting “Use ligatures”
