How to Automate Setting Up a Mac for Web Development

  • Replace this with nix darwin at this point?

  • Prerequisite manual steps

  • Walk through mac-setup functionality

  • Walk through dotfiles functionality

Draft

  • A few years ago I wrote a guide to setting up a max for development as quickly and simply as possible
  • If this is your first time setting up your Mac, I highly recommend you follow that guide instead of this one
  • If you’ve been doing this awhile and have a few additional tools and settings you like to use, you might have noticed that the process of remembering and adding those extras can take awhile
  • Saving and automating set up will help
  • DOTFILES
  • What are dotfiles?
  • Where are they located?
  • What can they include?
  • BREWFILE
  • MAC PREFERENCES
  • SETUP SCRIPT
  • PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
