Laptop

I maintain a laptop repo which sets up a macOS machine as a software development environment.

Install

Set the LAPTOP environment variable to a directory of your choice:

export LAPTOP="$HOME/laptop"

Clone onto laptop:

git clone https://github.com/croaky/laptop.git $LAPTOP
cd $LAPTOP

Review:

less laptop.sh

Run:

./laptop.sh

What it sets up

The script is tested on macOS Big Sur (11.3) on arm64 (Apple Silicon) and x86_64 (Intel) chips. It:

• installs system packages with Homebrew package manager
• changes shell to Z shell (zsh)
• creates symlinks for dotfiles to $HOME
• installs programming language runtimes
• installs or updates Vim plugins

It can safely be run multiple times. I run it most workday mornings.
