I have tried the examples found here to get Git auto-completion working on El Capitan, however none of the examples work for me. I installed bash-completion with Homebrew (brew install bash-compl.
- El Capitan Menu Bar now on GitHub. Posted by Lee on January 1, 2018 Featured 2 Comments. Happy new year everyone. I am proud to release the source code for ViDock on my github now. May 19, 2018. I tried the transformation pack today and it was awesome! Only problem is that i already have a custom theme installed.
- May 15, 2020 The El Capitan installer is downloaded to the /Applications folder, with the file name Install OS X El Capitan. If you have already installed El Capitan and wish to now create a bootable installer, you can force the Mac App Store to re-download the installer.
To accomplish this tutorial you already need a previous copy of OSX installed on VMWare Player or Workstation.
0) Acquire a copy of OSX 10.11 El Capitan
First of all you need to acquire a legal copy of OSX El Capitan from the App Store. This tutorial will not cover this part. Sorry :)
1) Unlock OSX option on VMWare
Download the latest version of VMWare Unlocker and use the relative binary to unlock it ( based on your Host OS ).
2) Create a 8GB Virtual vmdk
Disk

This will help us to create the Installation Media for a fresh new install of OSX El Capitan. Remember to attach it as
SATA
on your current OSX Virtual Machine where you acquired your OSX El Capitan copy.3) Initialize the 8GB vmdk
as HFS+ journaled

Assign the label
InstallMedia
, we will use this later :)4) Create the installation media
Open app the
Terminal.app
and run this command:and wait for it then to be finished. Meanwhile you can drink a Coffee or a Tea if you prefer :)
5) Create a OSX Virtual Machine container
Git For El Capitan Free
Upon creation use the
OSX 10.11
option. Everything else can be as it's suggested by default. Attach then the InstallMedia
vmdk we created before as SATA
.6) Boot and enjoy
Now it's just as a normal installation on a Mac. You know what to do :)
PROTIP: Remember to not format or install OSX over your installation media. You'll see it as normal Hard Disk, so don't be confused!
7) Install the VMWare Tools
Remember to do it so you can get more Video Memory, better performances and the clipboard integration.
Setup set to not suffer the next time
Setup
1. Run software update
Make sure everything is up to date.
2. Install Xcode and/or 'Command Line Tools'
- Xcode can be found on App Store. preferred
- Open and accept the terms
- Finaly got to the terminal and install 'Command Line Tools':
More info on how to download Command Line Tools inside XCode can be found on StackOverflow
3. Install Dotfiles
I have an repo with my Dotfiles and instructions.
Git For El Capitan Download
This will install some useful stuff and install Homebrew.
4. Install softwares
homebrew-cask
Many softwares can be installed throughhomebrew-cask which makes the process way simpler:
After install softwares, move all apps from
/opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/
to /Applications
. And to remove all installations files from /Library/Caches/Homebrew
.What's included?
Browser
Development
- Iterm 2 Terminal client
- Sublime Text 3 code editor
Others
- Dropbox File syncing
- Mou Markdown editor
- Skype Calls
- Spotify Musics
As not everything is perfect, some apps aren't available through homebrew-cask so you need to install it manually.
App Store
- TweetDeck
- Caffeine
- Dash
- Evernote
- Keynote
Manually
- Chrome Canary (how to set canary as default browser)
- ScreenFlow for screencast recording
- LICEcap for GIF recording
5. Borrow a few OSX settings from mathiasbynens dotfiles
source: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/master/.osx
6. Create/Update ~/.bash_profile
7. Create/Update ~/.gitconfig
You will need to set the user name and email (removed from .gitconfig to avoiderrors):
8. Config vim
I keep my settings andbundles on dropbox, just need to create the symlinks.
Might change this in the future to use a git repository tho.
9. Configure npm and generate SSH keys for github
Need to set the npm user:
And also generate SSH keys for github
10. Copy stuff from old HD
Check if files were copied properly and rename/move. Copying to a temporaryfolder since
rsync
might delete files depending on the options and/or mergefolders that you do not want to merge.El Capitan Os X Download
rsync
is great, you should use it when possible.11. Download IE test VMs for VirtualBox
Git For Mac El Capitan
these take a while to download! so maybe do it on a separate day as abackground process...
12. Download a base Ubuntu box for Vagrant
I'm using Vagrant to setup a few VMs locally fordevelopment.
The Ubuntu image takes ~2h to download since vagrant server is slow (~50Kb/s),might be faster to download the iso from the Ubuntusite and mount the image by yourself.
