Let your Mac do repetitive tasks for you
How can I find out if I have Xcode commandline tools installed?
Laptop is a script to set up a macOS computer for web development, and to keep it up to date.Let your Mac do repetitive tasks for you
To begin, you will need to launch the automator. Then you can create a new service in it. Now you can locate the function, which indicates “Copy to Clipboard”. When you see that, you need to drag and drop into the right hand side of the panel. Now you can select “Service Receives Selected” into “Files or Folders”. As the last step, you can save the automated service and give it a meaningful name, such as “Copy Path”.
/usr/bin/xcodebuild -version
will give you the xcode version, run it via Terminal command
- The command line tools are the basic foundation. Many basic tools are needed to compile your Swift/Objective-C code.
- XCode is the IDE which brings a few additional packages with it.
So the command line tools get sure that the basic UNIX tools are covered (as GCC for example) to be able to compile and link code.
brew install duti
Now you need to find the id of the app you want to use, and assign it to the extension you want to use it for. In this example, I already use Brackets for
*.sh and I want to also use it for *.md files instead of xcode.- Set TextEdit as the default handler for Word documents:
echo 'com.apple.TextEdit com.microsoft.word.doc all' | duti
A command-line tool to select default applications for document types and URL schemes on Mac OS X
Get the default app id for .sh files:
duti -x sh
output:
Brackets.app
/opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/brackets/1.6/Brackets.app
io.brackets.appshell
Use this app id for all .md files:
.md files:duti -s io.brackets.appshell .md all
$ duti -x md
Mou.app
/Applications/Mou.app
com.mouapp.Mou
Find out the bundle ID for an app
I want to change from Mou to Sublime Text, so I need Sublime Text’s bundle ID. There are a couple of ways I could get this info.
If I knew that another file type foo already uses Sublime Text as its default, I could use duti -x foo& look at the third line of the results, as with Mou above.
OR I can use this one-line AppleScript:
$ osascript -e "id of app "Sublime Text 2""
com.sublimetext.2
This works for any app on your system, like this:
$ osascript -e "id of app "Espresso""
com.macrabbit.Espresso
Bash Completion on macOS With Brew
$ brew install bash-completion
$ brew tap homebrew/completions
After you run that first command, in typical brew fashion, it will request that you add the following tidbit to your ~/.bash_profile. Don’t forget this part. It’s critical!
if [ -f $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion ]; then
. $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion
fi
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
The problem is that Xcode Command-line Tools needs to be updated.
Go back to your terminal and hit:
xcode-select --install
You'll then receive:
xcode-select: note: install requested for command line developer tools
Activity Monitor > View > All Processes, Hierarchically ought to do it, with a bit of scrolling...
The Stationery Pad feature has been around for years. Helpful though it can be, very few people use it. And that’s too bad.
It’s a way of creating a template document. For example, create a blank TextEdit document, save it to the desktop, select it, press Command-I, and enable the Stationery Pad option. Double-click on that document and you generate a copy of it, complete with all of the original document’s content. The original file remains untouched.
This is part of resume. A feature introduced with Lion.
Per default, windows are restored the next time you open the application. If you want to completly close all windows just one time, you can quit an application using ⌘+⌥+Q instead of the standard ⌘+Q to quit an application.
You can pin Siri results to your taskbar for later. When you ask Siri for information just click the plus icon at the top right of the grey box displaying the result of a Siri query.
Taking screenshots of Siri
When Siri shows you results, you can just drag that screen to your desktop or Finder window. This will create an automatic screenshot of the results, which is handy for future reference, rather than re-running the command, and perhaps getting different information.
This command allows you to copy text from stdin into the clipboard1 buffer. Trivial example:
echo 'Hello World!' | pbcopy
“Hello World!” is now in your clipboard.
pbpaste
Pastes from your clipboard to stdout. Trivial example:
echo `pbpaste`
$ pbcopy < file.txt
$ pbpaste

These are the A4 paper size used internationally, Letter and Legal paper sizes in the US and the old imperial foolscap paper size that was used in the British Commonwealth prior to the introduction of the ISO 216 standard.
Letter at 279mm (11.0") is slightly smaller than A4 at 297mm (11.7"), both Legal at 356mm (14.0") and Foolscap at 330mm (13.0") are longer than A4 with Legal being the longest. Foolscap is the narrowest at 203mm (8.0"), followed by A4 at 210mm (8.3") and then Letter and Legal at 216mm (8.5").
https://www.howtogeek.com/200660/learn-how-to-use-os-x%E2%80%99s-spotlight-search-like-a-champ/
Spotlight is useful enough for simple searches alone, but you can go deeper by using natural language. What does this mean? That you can type surprisingly specific queries and get the results you’d expect. For example: type “pictures from december 2015” and you will see only photos from that specific month.
Or, if you prefer, you can also request the weather in a particular place by typing, for example, “weather in buffalo NY.”
The trick also works for sports scores. Type “NHL scores” and you’ll see a schedule for today and a few recent scores.
You can also use Spotlight as a quick calculator.
There are a few more tricks like this. For example, type “define” followed by any word to see a quick definition from the web.

4. No laps, no sun
I can no longer plop down on the couch and use my MacBook on my lap or stomach without the fan kicking in almost immediately. When I do want to use it on the couch, I grab a coffee-table book to put it on, to keep my MacBook's vents unobstructed.
MacBooks vent from the back edge, so make sure the back of your MacBook isn't blocked or it will heat up quickly. That means, don't rest it on a pillow or blanket but on a flat surface like a desk, table, counter or book.
I also find the cooling fan spins less frequently when my MacBook Pro isn't sitting in direct sunlight. When the sun hits my kitchen table in the morning, it's time to take my coffee and MacBook to my office. Apple recommends keeping your MacBook in a spot that's between 50 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit (10-35 degrees Celsius).

In other words, by the time you notice a significantly decreased battery life, you will probably be buying a newer computer. So plug it in whenever you want. Don’t worry about it at all. (And btw, you can leave the power plugged in as long as you want after the battery is fully charged. It won’t overcharge as long as you are using original Apple power adapters.)
The TL;DR answer? The real destroyer of li-ion battery life is temperature extremes - most commonly heat. Charging practices have comparatively negligible impact on battery life. Just keep the machine cool, actually USE the battery now and then - and you'll be fine. That's it. Finis. That's really seriously all you need to know!

- Pull down the “Mail” menu and select “Preferences”
- Choose the “Fonts & Colors” tab and adjust the following:
- To change email message font size: Alongside “Message Font”, click the ‘Select’ button and then use the Size indicator to increase or decrease the font size – the default is size 12
- To change email inbox list font size: Click the “Select” button next to ‘Message list font’ and adjust the size as desired

- Tap the more button on the bottom left of the recording. It's three horizontal dots.
- Tap Share.
- Tap the method by which you'd like to share your Voice Memo and proceed as normal with your chosen method.
Just click and hold a memo in the list, then drag it to the desktop or a custom folder on your Mac and let go off the finger. Doing so will export the selected memo as an audio file with the .M4A extension.
Voice Memos is especially popular with journalists, bloggers, musicians and other people who conduct interviews for a living
https://www.idownloadblog.com/2018/08/14/howto-voice-memos-mac/
Voice Memos is one of the apps that Mojave brings from iOS to the desktop. These ported apps were realized using Apple’s brand-new framework, coming next year, that it says was designed to make porting existing iPhone and iPad apps to macOS easier.
DUPLICATING A TAB IN SAFARI
- Hit the combos: Command + L and then Command + Return (or Enter)
P.s. This technique will not result in the duplicated tab carrying the history of previous pages as it does in Google Chrome. It merely opens the current page in a new tab.
- Sync Google Contacts in iPhone
- Add your Gmail account at Settings -> Passwords & Accounts
- Change to your Gmail account at Settings -> Contacts -> Default Account
- So now every time you create an account at Phone app in iPhone, it will be synced to Google Contacts.
In order to maximize the window so that it fills the visible window content, use:
⌥ + Click on green icon
In order to maximize the window both in width and height to the current desktop for applications like Google Chrome use:
⌥ + ⇧ + Click on green icon
https://www.cultofmac.com/410346/how-to-maximize-your-el-capitan-windows-without-going-full-screen/
There are two ways to expand any window on your Mac. One trick, which came around when OS X Yosemite did, is to Option-Click the green button itself. That’s all well and good, but it does require a little extra thinking, and if you accidentally hit the green button without the Option key, you’ll get a full screen window. Not good.
The best way, in my opinion, to zoom your windows out to fit the size of the content within them is to double click on the title bar.

FileMerge is part of Xcode 4.x by Apple which you can download from the Mac App Store.
But FileMerge.app is now embedded inside the Xcode.app package and is not easily accessible as a standalone tool... Unless you do this:
- Browse to /Applications/Xcode.app
- Right-click -> Show package contents
- Contents -> Applications
- Right-click FileMerge.app -> Make Alias -> Enter password
- Copy the Alias to somewhere, like /Applications
- Delete the original Alias

https://www.howtogeek.com/252635/how-to-organize-your-email-with-smart-mailboxes-in-apple-mail/
One of the more intriguing features of Apple Mail is smart mailboxes, which collate your mail according to a predetermined set of rules. You mail doesn’t actually get moved to these smart mailboxes, it just appears as though it is.
Smart mailboxes are kind of like rules (aka filters), but instead of messages being flagged, copied, or moved based on a filter’s criteria, they remain in your inbox and only appear as if they’ve been moved. Smart mailboxes are a great way of organizing mail pertaining to a certain project or conversation without actually affecting it in any way.

- You can also press Alt-Command-F.
- Make sure the current—and desired—folder is selected in the Mailboxes bar under Search:.
- To have macOS search all folders, make sure All is selected.
The exact same functionality doesn’t exist on Mac OS X. There's no concept of underlined characters in the menus for quick selection.

Capture the entire screen
Step 1: Press the “Command” + “Shift” + “3” keys simultaneously.

In terms of identification, if the notification has a button attached to it, it’s an alert, otherwise it’s a banner.

Looks like the installer puts a lot of files, including the actual plugins, into folders under the .p2 folder in your home directory. This is true no matter where you install eclipse, with the installer. So either other users would need at least read access to some locations in your account, or you moved your .p2 folder to a central location and changed the eclipse.ini file (embedded in a folder under the eclipse.app folder) to point to the correct location. If you leave the .p2 folder in your account, you'd still need to alter the myeclipse.ini file, as it uses relative paths to files

Mac OS X Swap File Location
If you’re curious where the swap files are stored on your Mac, they’re located at:
/private/var/vm/
This directly also contains your sleepimage file, which is essentially what your Mac has been storing in memory prior to system sleep. This file is read again when you wake your Mac up to return to it’s previous state
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist
Again, this completely disables the Mac OS X paging ability, do not mess around with this for fun.
Your next step would be to remove the swapfiles that are currently stored, they are generally pretty large (it is your virtual memory after all) and take up a fair amount of disk space.

http://osxdaily.com/2014/01/29/change-notifications-banner-time-mac-os-x/
First, it’s important to differentiate between “Banners” and “Alerts”; a banner will slide in and slide out of the Mac screen without interaction (or you can swipe on it to dismiss), while alerts require some sort of user involvement with manually closing or rescheduling the alert. In terms of identification, if the notification has a button attached to it, it’s an alert, otherwise it’s a banner.
Users can change between banners and alerts by going to > System Preferences > Notifications and selecting the app or service and choosing which they’d prefer.
You’ll need to use the Terminal and defaults command strings to adjust the banner persistence time. Once you’re at the command prompt use the following syntax:
defaults write com.apple.notificationcenterui bannerTime [time in seconds]defaults delete com.apple.notificationcenterui bannerTime

https://www.cnet.com/news/access-menus-via-the-keyboard-in-os-x/
Apple's default option for accessing the menus is to press Control-F2. However, this may sometimes not work, especially if you have the function hot keys used for other features like the Dashboard, Launch Pad, and other system controls and services.

local f = win:frame()
f.x = f.x - 10
win:setFrame(f)
end)
This will now cause ⌘+⌥+ctrl+H to make move the currently focused window 10 pixels to the left. You can see that we fetch the currently focused window and then obtain its frame. This describes the location and size of the window. We can then modify the frame and apply it back to the window using

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35004054/move-eclipse-appLooks like the installer puts a lot of files, including the actual plugins, into folders under the .p2 folder in your home directory. This is true no matter where you install eclipse, with the installer. So either other users would need at least read access to some locations in your account, or you moved your .p2 folder to a central location and changed the eclipse.ini file (embedded in a folder under the eclipse.app folder) to point to the correct location. If you leave the .p2 folder in your account, you'd still need to alter the myeclipse.ini file, as it uses relative paths to files
For your situation, you might be better off using the standard installation method (unzipping the distribution file), moving the installation to /Applications.
The likely problem here is that Eclipse anticipates the directory structure around it, and fails when the actual directory structure doesn't match its expectations. The simplest solution is to create an alias (like a PC shortcut) in the Applications folder that links back to the application in the folder where it is installed by default.
To do this on a Mac, right click the application, which should be in the user root like so:
~/eclipse/java-mars/Eclipse.app
You should see the dropdown below. Click the "Make Alias" option to create an alias for Eclipse in the same folder. Then just rename this alias "Eclipse," and drag and drop it in Applications, where it should work just fine.

Shut down your Mac
To simply shut down your Mac safely and securely — letting all the background voodoo happen automatically — hit Control-Option-Command-Power (or Control-Option-Command-Eject). This will quit open programs and shut down your Mac without you needing to intervene or hit a confirmation button. This is an extremely helpful keyboard shortcut.
Put your Mac to sleep
If you want to send your Mac to sleep, hit Option-Command-Power (or Control-Option-Command-Eject). Your Mac will go to sleep, gently and effortlessly. It’s like a narcolepsy command for your Mac.
f you want to put only the display to sleep, effectively locking your Mac (provided you have a wake from display sleep password), just hit Control-Shift-Power (or Control-Shift-Eject).
Restart your Mac
And, of course, if you want to restart your Mac, hit Control-Command-Power (or Control-Command/Eject for a quick reboot of your favorite machine.

The behavior of a daemon/agent is specified in a special XML file called a property list. Depending on where it is stored it will be treated as a daemon or an agent.
Job definitions crucial for the operation of the operating system are stored below /System/Library. You should never need to create a daemon or agent in these directories. Third-Party definitions which are relevant for every user are stored below /Library. Job definitions for a specific user are stored below the respective user's Library directory.

Mac OS X Swap File Location
If you’re curious where the swap files are stored on your Mac, they’re located at:
/private/var/vm/
This directly also contains your sleepimage file, which is essentially what your Mac has been storing in memory prior to system sleep. This file is read again when you wake your Mac up to return to it’s previous state
back to swap files in the same directory: they are named successively swapfile0, swapfile1, swapfile2, swapfile3, swapfile4, swapfile5. You can see them for yourself with the following command:
ls -lh /private/var/vm/swapfile*sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist
Again, this completely disables the Mac OS X paging ability, do not mess around with this for fun.
Your next step would be to remove the swapfiles that are currently stored, they are generally pretty large (it is your virtual memory after all) and take up a fair amount of disk space.
sudo rm /private/var/vm/swapfile*

https://www.tekrevue.com/tip/three-ways-to-prevent-spotlight-from-indexing-items-on-your-mac/
First, and most bluntly, you can turn Spotlight off entirely. Note that this will also affect your ability to search within most of Apple’s applications, such as Mail and Finder, as they rely on the same Spotlight foundation that we’re about to kill.
Open up Terminal from /Applications/Utilities and enter the following command to kill Spotlight entirely (you’ll need administrative privileges to execute the command):
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist

Simply highlight the desired result in Spotlight, hold the Command key, and press Return (or hold Command and double-click on the result). Normally, pressing Return will open the file or launch the application, but adding the Command key to the mix instead opens a new Finder window showing the folder that contains the Spotlight search result.

pgrep parentalcontrolsd (or even just pgrep parental - it works with partial names)
If you get a number back, then parentalcontrolsd is running.
Then you need:
sudo pkill -9 parentalcontrolsd (you'll get prompted for your password - you need sudo to run this as root)
This kills it stone dead (as you can see in the screenshot). Use pgrep to check.

- Download the application AppZapper (or any similar app uninstaller) and go through your application folder, removing all unneeded and unused applications you can find.
- Download the application Monolingual and remove all localization files not used for your language. This can free up to 2GB of space, a significant step to freeing space.
- Open iPhoto and delete photos you no longer need. iPhoto has its own application trash so remember to empty that.
- Open iTunes and delete all of the music and podcasts you no longer like or need.
- Spend some time and go through your Documents, Movies, and Pictures folder, deleting any junk you no longer have any use for.
- Clear out old email messages in Mail or other email program.
- Go to ~/Library/Caches/, and delete anything you see from applications you no longer have installed. Repeat the process in ~/Library/Preferences/.
- Go to ~/Library/Safari/, and delete the “Icons” folder. This stores all of the favicons on websites, which appear next to the URL. This can also speed up web browsing speed in Safari.
- If you don’t use it, remove Mac OS 9. To remove it, drag the "System Folder" and the "Application (Mac OS 9)" folders to the trash from the root of your hard drive.
- If you don’t need it, remove the Xcode installer, located in /Applications/Installers/.
- Go to ~/Music/GarageBand/ and delete any GarageBand demo songs.
