My Mac Development Setup

From powering on a new mac to ready to develop, here's my setup:

Install Dropbox and make symbolic links to all my dot files, .vim, .vimrc, .zshrc, etc

Install SIMBL

Install a nice, easy to read terminal theme such as this one:

Install XCode

Install Homebrew

brew install git

brew install macvim

brew install mysql

brew install ack

brew install imagemagick

install rvm with:

bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head )

install Ruby Enterprise Edition with

rvm install ree

rvm use default

sudo gem install livereload # this uses some rubycocoa libraries that aren't in Ruby Enterprise Edition

sudo gem install compass

rvm use ree

gem install rails

gem install mysqlplus

gem install compass

gem install activerecord-sqlserver-adapter

gem install unicorn

Moving from a case-sensitive fs to a case ignorant one

I'm moving to a new mbp. I've got a time machine backup disk, but it's a case sensitive fs and my new mb is not. I've got a few music files that don't match up perfectly like "Lady Gaga" and "Lady GaGa"....hey, you gotta admit, she's got some catchy tunes.

Anyway, in order to find these and manually copy them over, I drop into the command line and run this:

 
find ./ | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z' | sort -rn | uniq -d

This will give you a list of all the directories/files that are duplicates of each other in everything but their case. It's up to you after that to move the files to one directory or another.
