Description

My solution for laptop configuration management, which includes:

• Install/upgrade of package managers; e.g., Homebrew, Cask, NPM
• Install/upgrade of apps and tools (not from App Store); e.g., Java
• Configure some OS X dotfiles; e.g., Git, aliases
  • Especially the git user section in /dotfiles/.gitconfig, otherwise your commits will have my name and email address
• Set various OS X preferences and settings

All operations are designed to be idempotent, meaning that its safe to run the script repeatedly.

Many others exist, but I thought most were over-engineered and I wanted to learn more about this so I created my own. I use the term 'created' loosely, as I borrowed heavily from various others around the web.

This project was initially based on mac script from thoughtbot laptop project

• See original for Zshell, Ruby, and more that I didn't need

Usage

1. Clone repo to your laptop
