Steps to bootstrap a new Mac

  1. Install Apple's Command Line Tools, which are prerequisites for Git and Homebrew.
xcode-select --install
  1. Clone repo into new hidden directory.
# Use HTTPS and switch remotes later.
git clone https://github.com/29medium/Dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
  1. Create symlinks in the Home directory to the real files in the repo.
# There are better and less manual ways to do this;
# investigate install scripts and bootstrapping tools.

ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.zshrc ~/.zshrc
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
  1. Install Homebrew, followed by the software listed in the Brewfile.
# These could also be in an install script.

# Install Homebrew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

# Then pass in the Brewfile location...
brew bundle --file ~/.dotfiles/Brewfile

# ...or move to the directory first.
cd ~/.dotfiles && brew bundle
