This is my highly opinionated collection of dotfiles and installation scripts meant to set up a macOS workstation from scratch (and keep its settings in sync with the repo).
Feel free to fork, but make sure you understand what each line does. At a minimum, you should change things like the Git username and email and purchased apps to be installed via Mac App Store (brew-mas-install.sh).
Shoutout to Mathias Bynens, his dotfiles repo and the multiple credited authors in the readme of his repo, who served as a baseline for my configuration.
