Dead Simple Setup

The "dead simple" OSX package install script.

Why does this repo exist?

I got tired of doing one off brew installs for java, ruby, python, npm, etc on both my work machine and my personal machine. I wanted to way to sync the installed OS programs at work and at home.

I admire the technical thoroughness of thoughtbot's laptop system, and wanted a less robust / simplified version.

Functionally, I wanted a way to define collections of packages to install quickly as I worked across multiple Mac machines.

Install

Install homebrew and git (after installing homebrew, brew install git).

git clone git@github.com:westonplatter/dead-simple-setup.git
cd dead-simple-setup
chmod +x ./setup.sh

#
# live examples in use
#
./setup.sh personal_apps
./setup.sh personal_data
./setup.sh personal_code
