Dot and brew files

Laptop Setup

I use this repo to set up a new macOS computer for development, updating it as I move between projects and jobs and my requirements change.

Prerequisites

1. Xcode CLI tools

   xcode-select --install

2. homebrew package manager

   /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Installation

1. create a directory named workspace in your home directory.

   mkdir -p ~/workspace

2. clone this repo

   git clone git@github.com:tmaybe/laptop-setup.git ~/workspace/

3. run the install script

   cd ~/workspace/laptop-setup
   ./install

Read the install script to see how the computer will be configured; read the Brewfile to see what will be installed.
