Manual Steps

Manually we need to copy the ssh settings to the ~/.ssh folder.

Also Dropbox, Google Drive, Chrome Telegram and Slack need a first time login. For the cloud drives, the cloud folder location must be set at first startup of the app. If the folder was backed up or was put on an external memory, nothing needs to be re-downloaded.

Unfortunately there a whole lot of OSX settings I didn't found a way to configure via command line. My basic settings I do when setting up a new system are described in osx/osx.md. Maybe there is a way to set all these per command line in one script. :)
