- keeping all your configuration files (“dotfiles”: shell, git, etc) in one, version controlled place. Makes setting up new machines so much less stressful. Here are mine in case you’re interested, for macOS and Ubuntu: https://github.com/Bogidon/dotfiles https://github.com/Bogidon/dotfiles - setting up a personal vpn with a reserved IP if you connect to services that require your IP to be whitelisted and you move often - for git cli: dashes take you back to your previous location (eg `git checkout -` will take you back to the previous branch). On zsh: `cd -n` will take you to n directories ago Mac only: - the Paste clipboard manager has been a most delightful tool, though I don’t know if I’ll ever upgrade to the new subscription version: https://pasteapp.io/ https://pasteapp.io/ - the workflows feature in Alfred.app as a convenient place to keep utility applescripts / other kinds of little scripts that you want to invoke through global shortcuts or through Alfred

I use copyclip as my clipboard manager: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/copyclip-clipboard-history/id595191960?mt=12 https://apps.apple.com/in/app/copyclip-clipboard-history/id5... It is free + simple.

The thing that finally made this worthwhile for me is GNU stow. https://alexpearce.me/2016/02/managing-dotfiles-with-stow/ https://alexpearce.me/2016/02/managing-dotfiles-with-stow/ Stow is available from homebrew if you prefer to get your Mac stuff that way.

Alfred has a clipboard manager built in, what does Paste offer over it that justifies its fee for you?

I've been using "Copied", but in the last few months on Catalina it suddenly loses the ability to copy out of its history window, whether via cmd+c or clicking. Only an app restart solves it. I emailed the developer over a month ago and never got a reply, so... guess I'm switching to "Paste App".
