Open in Visual Studio Code

• Open Automator
• Create a new document
• Select Quick Action
• Set “Service receives selected” to files or folders in any application
• Add a Run Shell Script action
  • your default shell should already be selected, otherwise use /bin/zsh for macOS 10.15 (”Catalina”) or later
  • older versions of macOS use /bin/bash
• if you're using something else, you probably know what to do 😉

Setup php-mcrypt on macOS (and versions of Mac OS X)

Important

I haven't been using PHP for many years, so I have no intention of updating this gist. Hopefully, the process is still the same for newer versions PHP, but I'm the wrong person to ask this. Feel free to comment though!

These steps should have been mentioned in the prerequisites of the Laravel Installation Guide, since I'm surely not the only person trying to get Laravel running on macOS.

Install

Install Mcrypt using Homebrew and PECL (comes with PHP)

Permissions for local MacPorts repositories

Getting local Portfile repository for MacPorts running is difficult, if not annoying. The documentation doesn't provide much help or, worse, is even outdated. Hopefully, the following steps will help avoiding the problem I had.

Installation

1. Download and run the MacPorts installer

2. Unlike specified in the documentation, the installer did not add /opt/local/bin to my PATH environmental variable. However, since I don't use the default macOS shell, the problem might actually be on my end.

This is a guide on how you can move a repository into an existing monorepo while keeping the entire history.

1. Add remote

First, let's define some variables:

REPO_ORIGIN=github.com
REPO_USER=idleberg
REPO_NAME=demo

Intro

Somehow, I managed to ”brick“ my Mac mini (2018, Intel) when I wiped its data before selling it online. From then on I could no longer:

• boot the normal Recovery Mode
• re-install macOS using an USB stick
• use the online Recovery Mode, since it always ended up in a error -1008F
