When starting fresh on a new machine, these are things I have lost:

Important

  • MySQL (SequelPro) saved server connections and auths.
  • PhpStorm settings.
  • Firefox bookmarks (sync did not sync them).

Consider using https://github.com/lra/mackup for backing up many of these GUI tools' settings.

Somewhat important

Nice to have

  • Code repositories, though they are all up in Git. It would be nice, though, to have a backup in iCloud (could be bad given the number of small files), so a new machine can just bring it in.
  • Virtual machines (not that bad).
  • Firefox containers (all of the work of designating what domains for what containers).
  • Symlink to Mobile Documents at ~/iCloud
  • Replace native bash version with homebrew version. etc/shells and chsh.
  • Safari Extensions: XDebugToggle.app and Dark Reader for Safari.app
  • stts uptime tool, from App Store.

Everything else is backed up or automated.

#21

Note that to setup xdebug, configs in dotfiles use port 9001, so modify phpstorm to use that. Consider just going back to socket.

Also, xdebug's RC became 3+, so the configuration needs to be changed. See:

Edit Nov 9, 2021:

  • Integrate iCloud Drive technique for quicker uptime. This will ensure compatible calls to ln that are POSIX-compliant (not using -r option). This will also ensure some links like .ssh directory are made properly.
  • Consider replacing whole linking technique with stow at the very end.

Notes for iCloud technique:

  • run basic symlinks (.ssh, iCloud)
  • ensure 600 permissions on .ssh

Then run dotfiles. Ensuring XDG directories are topmost. Then everything else. Then stow.
