Setting up a new MacBook is exciting yet tedious process, so... To simplify this, I've crafted a GitHub gist packed with all the essential tools, and scripts you'll need to fully equip your MacBook. This gist isn't just a way to save time; it's regularly updated to stay compatible and include new, practical tools you love.
What’s in the Gist?
The gist includes scripts for installing:
- Homebrew: The missing package manager for macOS, which lets you install software directly from your command line.
- Utility Tools: bat - supercharged cat, nano (although i love vim), killport, speedtest, etc.
- Programming Tools: node to python package managers, dependency managers, aws tools, docker, etc.
- Super Applications: stats - super widgets, warp - AI terminal, password managers, communication apps, and many more...
- Auto Configurations: enable TouchID for terminal sudo, zsh plugins configuration, etc.
How to Use the Gist
- Fork or Clone: You can fork the gist to your GitHub account or clone it directly to your MacBook using the Git command.
- Run the Script: Open your terminal, navigate to where you’ve saved the script, and run it. You may need to give executable permissions to the script using chmod +x setup.sh.
- Follow Prompts: The script is interactive, so follow any on-screen prompts to customize your installations.
Et voila!
