What have I done with my new macbook

I bought a MacBook to try macOS. It's a UNIX-like system, just like Linux. I mainly use Fedora38 recently and it's time to try another branch of Operating Systems.

App installed

I configured this device for the whole day and I downloaded below apps.

• Chrome: nothing else to say
• NetEaseMysic: Listen to music
• WeChat: For communication
• Clash Verge: People from China can understand. ToT
• Typora: I downloaded version 0.11.18 . It's the version free of charge.
• HotKey: I am familiar with using ctrl+cmd+T to invoke terminal. But it's complex to set keyboard shortcuts on Mac. So I use this to implement that.
• Visual Studio Code: To write code.

Below are CLI tools I installed

• HomeBrew: In order to use brew to install software.
• Upgit: To upload my images to server.
• gh: Github CLI tool
• Oh my zsh: To beautify the terminal
  • Syntax Highlight plugin
  • Auto suggestion plugin
• node: Recently I write some typescript and javascript
• wget: Get resources
• git: Can't without it.
• gnu-sed: This pitfall shows when I uploaded this post. So I think I have to open a section for it.

gnu-sed

Caution: Command sed is different on macOS and Linux.

I write a shell script to automatically upload my posts. It works well on Fedora38 and fails on macOS.

The solution is simple: install gnu-sed and use gsed instead of using sed.

So I modified my script to work on both platforms.

What have I configured?

Clash Verge + Chrome

I configured this two to visit google. I have to complain that English forums' quality is far better than Chinese forums. If I give the specific keywords, the answers are really helpful.

Terminal

The macbook's system is Ventura 13.6.4, so the default shell environment is zsh. I installed On-My-Zsh to beautify terminal. Also, I downloaded 2 plugins, which are essential.

• zsh-syntax-highlighting: Help a lot when I type some wrong commands.
• zsh-autosuggestions: Remenber the commands I typed. Save numerous time.

Joplin Typora and Upgit

I use Joplin to store all my notes and I synchronize them with the help of Tencent COS.

I downloaded Typora 0.11.18 from GitHub and this version satisfy my needs. I choose uploading all the images inserted to server, and that needs the help of Upgit.

Upgit is a lightweight software used to upload images. I configured it to upload images to my Tencent COS Bucket. I used that as a img-bed.

Ending...

That's pretty almost what I have done with this new laptop. MacOS impressed my a lot. I think I am converting from Linux-User to macOS-User XD.
