Ansible script to stand up a new mac development machine

Mac Developer Machine Setup

This repository contains useful scripts to set up a mac development machine. They have been tested with the following OSes:

OS SKU Version(s)
macOS Desktop 11.6

Pre-Requisites

macOS

  1. Install Homebrew
  2. Install [Ansible] brew install ansible

Running

Before running the scripts, please review _all.yaml and _all_no_customization.yaml, and comment out software you don't want installed. In particular, most folders contain customization.yaml files which tend to contain my personal opinions on customizations; feel free to comment out sections of those files, or ignore them entirely.

To run the setup:

ansible-playbook -K _all.yaml

To see what has changed since the last run:

ansible-playbook -K _all.yaml --check --diff

You will be prompted for your password, so that administrative-level software can be installed. You must be a sudoer to run these scripts, otherwise the installation process will fail. You can also run individual files if you'd prefer to take more control over what's executed.

Since core OS packages are upgraded, it is safest to reboot the PC/VM after running these scripts. At a bare minimum, many UI shell customizations done here will require you to log out and log back in.

Feel free to fork and make your own preferences
