Mac Development Environment Setup

This repository provides my default mac environment setup. Feel free to fork and customize.

Install

Run the setup script. This will:

• Install Xcode commandline tools (required for Homebrew)
• Install default dotfiles into user home directory. These are installed with symbolic links so any changes to these files will be reflected in the mac-setup repo.
• Install homebrew
• Install brew apps, casks, fonts (from Brewfile)
• Set shell as Fish
• Install some VS Code extensions using their CLI
• Install Typr (Utility I wrote for tracking words typed per day, You probably don't want this)

To install, clone the repo and run ./setup:

git clone https://github.com/chrisdail/mac-setup.git ~/code/mac-setup
cd ~/code/mac-setup
./setup

Customizing This

If you want to clone this repo and customize things, you probably want to:

• Remove Typr (probably of no use to you)
• Edit dotfiles/.gitconfig to make sure your username/email are there
• Update any paths/aliases in any dotfiles
• Update any packages you may want to use in Brewfile
