00:59:19 Thanks!
If i had to rank all the mac setup videos i have watched through the years, this ranks way up at number one. CJ is a natural teacher. Took the time to explain everything and not just skim through it. Really great work.
What a killer video. So indepth but super high production value and veeery watchable. Timestamps are on point. I'm sure to visit and revisit this video many times in the future.
20 mins in, and I've already downloaded 3 new apps! Wonderful video!
Spectacular! The best mac setup I've ever seen
41:06 seamlessly done! Love it! Great video, very useful and A LOT to take in so thanks for the timestamps to jump about.
Ah, the memories. The Mac setup streams were how I originally discovered CJ a few years ago. Awesome stuff 🚀
My Macs are all reconfigured and a bit "hacked", but you just made it super clean! Well done Mr. CJ!
One of the best and most useful video that I've seen this year!
Thanks so much for sharing your setup! This was one of the better videos I've seen :) The iTerm "Natural Text Editing" key mappings was super helpful!
Nice video CJ! Well presented a lot of useful stuff 🎉
This is SUCH an amazing video! This is actually incredible.
Honestly great video! I have been using Mac OS to develop on for like 5 years and I didn’t know about some of these cool things. In particular; Raycast + the brew extension (just set it up last night) as well as stats tool is quite nice. Thanks for all this, very comprehensive!
First video of yours I've seen and I loved your vibe. Thanks for bringing it all together in such a light and cool way!
Regardless the development stack, my setup is very similar and I would like to say that it is really worth giving Arc Browser and Warp Terminal a chance.
I was watching this in incognito mode, but the video was so good and detailed and useful, that I specifically got back to non-incognito to give it a like 😄Thank you! ❤
This is the best set up video for mac 2024 hands down. I also use raycast and love using the create links as shortcuts
Amazing! It is hard to find someone with a very similar setup that I have. Yours gave me some ideas of improvement. Thank you so much 🎉
This was an incredible resource. Thanks for putting this together!
just got a mac for the first time and watched so many MacBook set up videos and this is by far the best! thanks!
congrats with purchase!
Great video, we need more content like this!
Super helpful stuff, CJ. Learned a lot. Thanks!
This was an excellent video for a newbie to mac OS. Thank you.
lots of the stuff mentioned here I'm already using, Though, there were things I didn't even know were there. Really good in-depth video !!
Outstanding walkthrough. Thank you!
Well done my man, just enough detail
This is a thorough video. Love it
Awesome video man. Was extremely helpful and informative. You sold me on raycast
Awesome!
Great "Mac Tweak Tools" :--)
Thank you, CJ!
Ooooh CJ, nice to see you, I set up my MAC twice already based on your vid from Code Garden
Nice to see you in Syntax team. Thanks for the video, as I am new Mac user it helped a lot :)
Wow this is a Gold mine. Thanks CJ and Syntax!
Awesome tips, thanks CJ
CJ is awesome. I followed your twitch streams back in the day.
My life splits in half: before and after discovering iTerm's natural language setting 🤯
Thanks so much for this vid, amazing stuff!
Great video, I will get a brand new Mac next week for my new job, so this was really useful 👌
Thank you. I have been looking for something like this.
Fantastic. A lot of nice tips and presented superbly. Much appreciated.
Such a great video. Thanks for everything!
long time cj fan here to support 👍☕️🙏⭐️🥳
Awesome video! Good job man!
WOW CJ is there with you. Nice
Amazing guide, so much great info. Thank you!
this is an awesome video. thank you cj
What a useful video. Thank you so much!
One of the biggest lessons from this well thought through video I have gained is to take notes on setting up your pc/mac/linux work environment.
Thank you for the details put into editing this educational video.
For me settings and configurations is an ongoing process. I am considering a Password protected note file. Layer the note files with sub folders if necessary. I like how a lot of configurations in coding can be scripted and stored in a git repo.
Great Video! Lots of useful stuff!
Thanks a lot for the menu bar tools!
You're amazing, cj. I have implemented all the settings and its supercool. Post importing vs code settings, I couldn't toggle between editor and Primary side bar using shortcut "command +0" & "command+1"
Awesome video, love it! 👏
Thanks for the great tips, my Mac feels better now :)
Awesome video!!
Thank you for this awesome video!
This movie completely changed my life as software developer 🤯 Thank you 🙏
Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
Great video. Thanks a lot for the tips. Learned a lot.
Great video....well done. One of the best
wow wow wow - this is such an amazing tutorial
Absolutely great, thank you !
Mac user since literally 1984. Great content CJ. I even learned a thing or two.
Three things: 1. Fish shell. 2. Kitty terminal. 3. Volume for the recording was way too low. I had to boost it quite a bit to hear it. Then blew my ears out when my Mac spoke the time. ;)
handsdown the best setup video.
Amazing video! 👍
Thanks for the awesome tutorial. I've been using Windows since born and it was painful to install apps or switching between tabs on mac. I love RayCast and all other apps you suggested!
Very useful video! Thanks
Thank thank thank you. This was awesome 🎊
If I watched RUclips video from the start to the end, it means I like it and became new subscriber.
Good to see your smiling face and this video was wonderful.
watching this from my few hours old MacBook love you cj
Super ocol to see cj here!
Great video! 👏
An hour setup video is wild lmao. Well done
FYI: Raycast Window Management plugin can replace Rectangle with the same shortcuts.
Yes, he also said that. He just prefers Rectangle.
Wow! This is so helpful
Friend, this was actually useful. I've been so frustrated for so long with search defaulting to "This Mac" instead the obvious "This location". Having to click and "see properties" to see how much space is left on my HD is annoying. Having to Cmd + Up to go up through the folder tree to see where I am... all those little things that were low key annoying all the time. Thank you!
You're also charming AF.
This is awesome! Thanks
Thanks! amazing content!
thanks so much. Awesome video.
1:36 OMG, I resonate so much with you on this.
I am a Linux nerd mate and yeah i do these stuff by myself..............
but sooner or later have to use a mac for work so knowing these helps a lot.
btw at first instance i was like WTF 1 hr but you covered everything that is relevant and important.
Thanks for the video.
this vid is awesome thanks
congratulation very nice video for mac user and dev
very cool and useful
thank you for a great vid….you are very good at teaching…thx
Love it!
Thanks for the tabless. It's a great Momentum alternative.
Lots of useful info thanks! I would add TMUX to the list, the speed at which you can manipulate the terminal without using the mouse is much faster with tmux.
Such a Great content
Thank you very much!!! Great!
Many many thanks ♥
Great Video, I opted for Warp terminal rather than iTerm but followed just about everything else
I don't use terminal a lot but the iterm tips were pretty awesome!
Under "Other Apps I use" you could also save your installed brew software into a Brewfile using `brew bundle dump`. That does save the version though, but might be handy when setting up a replacement device.
chad guy. i use these apps too. so convenient
46:50, you can do "brew install nvm" and enable the nvm extension inside the .zshrc file, "plugins=(nvm)" so OHMYZSH will gonna detect nvm automatically.
Great stuff mate, I'd recommend you trying warp as your terminal.
Wes and Scott use warp, but there is def a concern around needing an account for a term.
impressive
thanks
As a new Mac user coming from Windows... I can't thank you enough!
ooh we like CJ very much 😀
Yes we do
Nice video
39:24 dude, thanks a lot!!!
Raycast already has built in window manager plugin, do you think that Rectangle is better? Great video, lots of inspiration for settings change.
