Workstation Setup

This project automates the process of setting up a new Pivotal Labs machine using a simple Bash script.

Warning: the automation script is currently aggressive about what it does and will overwrite vim configurations, bash-it configurations, etc.

Install Xcode 7

Open up the OS X Terminal and run the following commands:

mkdir -p ~/workspace
cd ~/workspace
git clone https://github.com/pivotal/workstation-setup.git

Everything is in one repository
The project name is informative
Keep it easy to fork and customize
It has very limited requirements: git, bash and Ruby are all available on OS X by default
