Install new machine

Name your machine

On your Mac, choose "System Settings", "General" in the sidebar, click "About" on the right. Type a new name in the Name field.

On your Mac the local hostname is the computer’s name with .local added, and any spaces are replaced with hyphens

Check chezmois idea of the hostname via:

chezmoi execute-template '{{ .chezmoi.hostname }}'

# install homebrew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
