Mac Web Development Setup: Homebrew, FZF, Window Management & More!

[@kotanaka]

thanks for tips and tricks. just having a problem. when I try to open one of my WordPress folders inside 'Local Sites' with f command. it automatically creates a brand new file with same name inside a brand new 'Sites' folder instead. It seems that f command confuses 'Local Sites' with 'Sites' folder. I tried to edit your executable script, getting rid of the word '~/Sites', since I don't have such folder named 'Sites' in the first place. Spending some time to solve it, still have no luck.

Whoops, so sorry for that, thank you for catching and posting. I tested opening WP projects but then I must have cmd+z and tested a different feature and pushed that version to Gist. I just updated the Gist and it works with WP local sites now - essentially, we just need double quotes wrapped around the entire value we're feeding into code.

1:13 - Drag the "Applications" folder onto the Dock. This way when you click on it you can see (or open) all your installed Apps. Kinda like Windows Start Button.

Thank you Brad. It really awesome as a Mac user to set things up likd this 🎉.

Thanks for sharing. Please make the same video for Windows OS if possible.

[@kuldarman]

Thank you! All that works fine with Debian 12 too.

[@LearnWebCode]

You're welcome! I love how stable Debian is. Does Debian 12 come out of the box with the new Gnome? I think it was any version beyond Gnome 40 that looks super polished!

[@wpstormdev2310]

thanks. Please create more project-based training courses.

Have you tried Raycast? It has a window manager 8:58

[@LearnWebCode]

I had never even heard of Raycast. Oh my goodness, thank you so much, looks amazing and like it could simplify my setup. I'm also excited to see if I could make my fuzzy finder directory search to open in VS Code even faster with Raycast integration.

[@ChrisMcQueen]

@@LearnWebCode it's replaced a ton of little apps that I use to use. And, it's so much better than spotlight.

Very helpful. thanks Brad💯

[@thewebproject]

Thank you! This is great.

[@developermonir]

Thanks a lot ❤

Syntax, had a set up video recently that was pretty good too. You should have set u Time Machine or a clone app. Return to starting point. Was hoping you installed the php server, locally and activated Apache localhost.

Thank you Brad. A question I’ve been meaning to ask you for long time. In you tutorials what do you use to highlight parts of the screen with a rectangle. Like if you want to emphasize on something you drag a rectangle around it. Is it an application you use for this or the mac screenshot shortcut?

[@LearnWebCode]

You're welcome. It's the Mac screenshot tool (cmd + shift + 4) and then I just press the escape key to not actually take the screenshot. I just discovered a great almost identical app for Windows called Greenshot.

[@ronyortizop]

Thanks a lot Brad

Why are you using cd in ohmyzsh? You just type the directory . cd is not needed

[@LearnWebCode]

I didn't know that; that's awesome. I knew about all of the git related aliases it offers, but had no clue about the cd tip. To be honest I've only ever used it for the cleaner prompt + branch name etc... do you have any other favorite features of ohmyzsh to save time?

[@milenfrom]

Thank you! I also use Mac

[@Tony.Nguyen137]

Hi long time no see

[@hamzajaved1115]

Amazing hacks ❤

[@cleibertm]

I like when his resolution is like in 200% hahaha

[@LearnWebCode]

Haha, it's one of my biggest pet peeves when people record their screen at normal 100% scaling because everything is impossibly too small to read on a normal video-player size. I normally record at 200% so the text is easily readable on phones, tiny laptops etc... but this video was confusing for me because I wanted to show the window management features / dock etc...

[@cleibertm]

​@@LearnWebCode That's cool, Brad, and you're right; it helps a lot to follow the tutorials. In fact, I've tried using 200% resolution on my own when I need to focus on one thing, and it works for productivity because I don't have a lot of things open. Keep up the good work!"
