Notes on Mac OS (X)

Collection of notes on Apple's OS.

In the past few years (only updated to 10.15 recently) a number of OS updates have changes some of the behaviour of ssh. Since Mac OS Sierra, ``ssh-agent`` does not automatically store the password in the MacOS keychain anymore.

This Reddit shows ho to fix it by adding the following lines to your ``.ssh/config`` file:

Host *
   UseKeychain yes
   AddKeysToAgent yes
   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_25519

• Command line search: find [path] -iname “some*.stuff”

Applications which I deem essential when working on Mac OS X:

• FreeMacSoft's AppCleaner - remove auxiliary files when trashing applications.
• iStumbler - “the leading wireless discovery tool for macOS”.
• Little Snitch - controlling your network connections.
• TextMate
