Setup OSX with a Clean Install

About once a year, my machine gets pretty sluggish and it's time to start fresh. Here's the process I use to update it with everything I need.

TODO: Add info about dotfiles set up and zsh (possible settings file?)

1. Start with a Fresh Install of OS X

• Save all dotfiles to a repo for easy transfer
• Back up all photos, music, apps, iTunes library, keychains, etc.

Solid Base .htaccess

Creating a solid base for your .htaccess file. Currently includes RewriteBase, Security (against indexes, files, etc.), and Expires Headers (caching, performance).

• The URL REWRITES would go at the top of the file.
• The SECURITY and the WEB PERFORMANCE can go towards the bottom... before and WordPress or WP Super Cache items.
• UPDATE 2013-08-21: Added code for forcing either non-www or www. on URLs. Also added the MultiViews option.
• UPDATE 2013-08-23: Added specific code for wp-config.php
• UPDATE 2013-10-04: Increased favicon expire time.
• UPDATE 2014-02-05: Removed the Force URL rewrites since there's more than one option.
