Udemy - Dotfiles from Start to Finish-ish

What you'll learn:
Saving software and system configuration in a "Dotfiles" Git repository for an upcoming computer restoration.
Installing software in an automatable and idempotent fashion with Homebrew.
Use of various pre-installed and new command line tools, including bat, exa, git, httpie, ls, man, and more.
An introduction to a handful of applications (including VS Code, Alfred, Dropbox, GitKraken, and Snappy) and how they relate to Dotfiles.
Intermediate use of Git and GitHub in the command line and in the applications, VS Code and GitKraken.
Requirements
General use of macOS
A GitHub account and some Git experience
Description
Our Macs* are littered with hidden "dotfiles" which maintain system and application configuration information. In this course, we will:
learn exactly what "dotfiles" are,
backup these files in a Git repository,
start using tools to automate the bootstrapping process,
and use Homebrew so our application installs are recorded in a remote repository.
Along the way, we will learn how to use the Command Line and several related tools. We will start customizing our shell (with aliases, functions, variables, etc.) and replace built-in tools with projects from the open source community that improve our shell experience. Each step we take will be tied back into the larger Dotfiles concept and recorded in our repository.
This subject is big and I have many more hours of content that I'd like to create. In addition to what's currently available, I'm planning on creating two more installments. Part 2 will be about ZSH. Part 3 will be where we put it all together and restore our setup on a new OS. As new content will likely come with price increases, now is the time to enroll.
* All the work in this course is done on macOS. Much of the content will be relevant to those on Unix-like systems, and less so on Windows systems.
Who this course is for
Software developers looking for a geeky way of backing up one's system and setup.
Those who may have avoided the Command Line, but are ready to take the plunge.
