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!

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.

Ah, the memories. The Mac setup streams were how I originally discovered CJ a few years ago. Awesome stuff 🚀

41:06 seamlessly done! Love it! Great video, very useful and A LOT to take in so thanks for the timestamps to jump about.

My Macs are all reconfigured and a bit "hacked", but you just made it super clean! Well done Mr. CJ!

Spectacular! The best mac setup I've ever seen

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! ❤

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!

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!

Nice video CJ! Well presented a lot of useful stuff 🎉

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!

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.

One of the best and most useful video that I've seen this year!

This is SUCH an amazing video! This is actually incredible.

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!

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 !!

My life splits in half: before and after discovering iTerm's natural language setting 🤯 Thanks so much for this vid, amazing stuff!

This was an excellent video for a newbie to mac OS. Thank you.

Great video, we need more content like this!

Super helpful stuff, CJ. Learned a lot. Thanks!

Great video, I will get a brand new Mac next week for my new job, so this was really useful 👌

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 :)

Fantastic. A lot of nice tips and presented superbly. Much appreciated.

Awesome video man. Was extremely helpful and informative. You sold me on raycast

Outstanding walkthrough. Thank you!

Well done my man, just enough detail

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.

Thank you. I have been looking for something like this.

This movie completely changed my life as software developer 🤯 Thank you 🙏

CJ is awesome. I followed your twitch streams back in the day.

This is a thorough video. Love it

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"

Wow this is a Gold mine. Thanks CJ and Syntax!

i watched the whole video and i liked so much i can say this is the best mac set up video i've ever seen and cj he such a spontaneous teacher i enjoyed the video and it's so helpful thank you so much guys liked your channel and podcast from that one

Awesome tips, thanks CJ

Awesome! Great "Mac Tweak Tools" :--) Thank you, CJ!

Amazing guide, so much great info. Thank you!

long time cj fan here to support 👍☕️🙏⭐️🥳

Thanks for the great tips, my Mac feels better now :)

Such a great video. Thanks for everything!

Thanks a lot for the menu bar tools!

Great Video! Lots of useful stuff!

watching this from my few hours old MacBook love you cj

Awesome video! Good job man!

this is an awesome video. thank you cj

What a useful video. Thank you so much!

Great video. Thanks a lot for the tips. Learned a lot.

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!

Awesome video, thanks for sharing.

Awesome video, love it! 👏

An hour setup video is wild lmao. Well done

Super ocol to see cj here!

Thank you for this awesome video!

WOW CJ is there with you. Nice

If I watched KZread video from the start to the end, it means I like it and became new subscriber.

Great video....well done. One of the best

Very useful video! Thanks

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.

Absolutely great, thank you !

Awesome video!!

wow wow wow - this is such an amazing tutorial

Amazing video! 👍

handsdown the best setup video.

Thank thank thank you. This was awesome 🎊

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. ;)

Great video! 👏

Thanks for the tabless. It's a great Momentum alternative.

Today I destroyed my Mac to the point where the operating system told me I lacked the necessary permissions to even open System Preferences. Your video made it rise like a phoenix from the ashes. Thanks a lot!

1:36 OMG, I resonate so much with you on this.

Wow! This is so helpful

Good to see your smiling face and this video was wonderful.

Thanks! amazing content!

This is awesome! Thanks

thank you for a great vid….you are very good at teaching…thx

thanks so much. Awesome video.

I don't use terminal a lot but the iterm tips were pretty awesome!

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.

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.

congratulation very nice video for mac user and dev

this vid is awesome thanks

very cool and useful

Great Video, I opted for Warp terminal rather than iTerm but followed just about everything else

Thank you very much!!! Great!

FYI: Raycast Window Management plugin can replace Rectangle with the same shortcuts.

Yes, he also said that. He just prefers Rectangle.

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.

Love it!

First install on a fresh mac for me: spotify. I like to work in music :)

Many many thanks ♥

easier to follow at x0.25 speed but still super informative on this m1 possibilities!!

Super useful! Would definitely recommend Warp over iTerm though

Awesome video, I don't need to see more to subscribe. Thank you for sharing. Do you have any particular reason for using VSCode rather than VSCodium ? Are there any extension working on VSCode and not on VSCodium ?

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.

I am watching this while about to 100% clean up my Mac. Also from 2020 but still Intel in my case.

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.
