I’ve just setup a new mac and used the following scripts to get it 90% setup to my liking, using Homebrew to install as much as possible in one go. Once this had been run and I copied over my dotfiles I was pretty much ready to go.
- Install homebrew package manager:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"-
Create a file call
Brewfile(no extension) that has contents like this:
