OS X Fresh (Re)Install

OS X ENV (re)Install

This is my personal guide to restore my configuration and setup my system for a fresh install. I use it and keep it updated frequently. Hope it will inspire you on your own way =].

Backup

Before a fresh reinstall, don't forget to backup many things. A regular ghost made with CarbonCopyCloner or Clonezilla is a good solution, but if you can't, you should save the following:

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

This is my backup script which syncs my server to my dropbox every day.

The script below is triggered every day from my Mac. I use Hazel to move the tar.gz to an external hard disk once it's finished. This happens every day without me noticing. You can exclude folders if you want to. You probably want to exclude giant cache folders.

You should have a similar script.
