What is this?

Script for easier setup of a dev machine. This script is based on https://github.com/thomaspoignant/mac-dev-setup which I've adjusted for my needs. It's supposed to run on a fresh MacOS machine and will install the following software:

• Homebrew
• Terminal & command line helpers
  • iTerm2
  • zsh/oh-my-zsh - delightful community-driven (with 1500+ contributors) framework for managing your zsh configuration
  • ack - designed as a replacement for 99% of the uses of grep
  • bash-completion - programmable completion functions for bash
  • lsd - next gen ls command
  • tree - recursive directory-listing program that produces a depth indented listing of files
  • jq - lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor
• Git & utilities
  • oh-my-zsh git plugin - provides many aliases and a few useful functions
  • gbh - simple npm package to make changing between git branches more seemless
• NPM utilities
  • nvm
  • npm
  • yarn
• Browsers
  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Edge
  • Brave
• VSCode & extensions
  • MJML
  • ENV
  • Import Cost
  • Todo Tree
  • YAML
  • Eslint
  • Prettier
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Github Actions
  • Astro
  • GitLense
  • GraphQL
