Personal Mac Dev Setup 💻

---

Description

On many occassions, I had to change laptops, which meant I had to install ALL the things in the world, like everything again from scratch.

So... wrote this script to automates that process by setting up all the common development tools and configurations for you.

From installing essential software to configuring your environment, it handles the tedious tasks so you don’t have to.

Just run the script, and you're good to go!

How to run the script

GITHUB_SETUP_URL="https://github.com/onlyonehas/mac_dev_setup/main/setup.sh"

# Download the setup.sh script from GitHub
curl -O $GITHUB_SETUP_URL

# Make the setup.sh script executable
chmod 755 setup.sh

# Run the setup.sh script
zsh ./setup.sh

Still TO DO:

• Update dynamically from cloud
• Automate dot files
• Secure secrets ie .aws, certs
• Hidden script to move/apply secrets
• Settings for vscode
• Alfred shortcuts

Google Chrome: Ensure to sign in and turn on sync in Chrome to keep your browser customisation - bookmarks, extensions etc

Vs Code Sync: You can turn on Settings Sync using the Turn On Settings Sync... entry in the Manage gear menu at the bottom of the Activity Bar.
