I install most of the apps using Homebrew and Cask. Cask extends Homebrew and brings its elegance, simplicity, and speed to OSX applications and large binaries alike.

For Work

• Adobe Lightroom Classic
• Adobe Photoshop
• Git
  > brew install git
• Visual Studio Code
  > brew cask install visual-studio-code
• Local by Flywheel
• Insomnia
  > brew cask install insomnia
• Figma
  > brew cask install figma
• NodeJS + NPM
  > brew install nvm
  > nvm install 10.15.3 (or any other version)
• MongoDB
  > brew install mongodb
• NoSQLBooster for MongoDB
• Inconsolata Font
  > brew cask install font-inconsolata
• Fire Code (this one is nice)
• Optimize PNGs from the command-line
  > brew install pngquant

Backup

CloudBerry

To make sure Time Machine doesn’t back up all the node_modules and such files: https://github.com/stevegrunwell/asimov. We can use TimeMachineEditor:

> brew cask install timemachineeditor

BackBlaze. Works awesome, but the same as for Time Machine, manual exclusions are required.

<!-- Exclude node_modules. -->
<excludefname_rule plat="mac" osVers="*"  ruleIsOptional="t" skipFirstCharThenStartsWith="users/" contains_1="/node_modules/" contains_2="*" doesNotContain="*" endsWith="*" hasFileExtension="*" />

<!-- Exclude .svn -->
<excludefname_rule plat="mac" osVers="*"  ruleIsOptional="t" skipFirstCharThenStartsWith="users/" contains_1="/Coding/" contains_2="/.git/" doesNotContain="*" endsWith="*" hasFileExtension="*" />

<!-- Exclude .git -->
<excludefname_rule plat="mac" osVers="*"  ruleIsOptional="t" skipFirstCharThenStartsWith="users/" contains_1="/Coding/" contains_2="/.git/" doesNotContain="*" endsWith="*" hasFileExtension="*" />

To automatically create a console.log with the content of the clipboard, add this in the keybindings.json:

[
  {
    "key": "shift+cmd+l",
    "command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
    "when": "editorTextFocus",
    "args": {
      "snippet": "console.log('Debug', ${CLIPBOARD}$1);"
    }
  }
]
