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 can safely be run multiple times. I run it most workday mornings. It is tested on the latest version of macOS on a arm64 (Apple Silicon) chip. It:
- installs system packages with Homebrew package manager
- configures the shell (zsh)
- creates symlinks for dotfiles to
$HOME - installs programming language runtimes
- installs or updates text editor plugins
It also adds a few scripts to $PATH whose details are described in these articles:
