This is tailored for my personal use, do not use without forking and adjusting for yours.

I use this for initialising a fresh MacOS install to somewhat usable state, it is not intended to fully automate the system configuration.

What can be automated, should be automated. In that vein, this will take a fresh MacOS machine and install:

• Command Line Tools, Homebrew
• Apps from Mac App Store
• Apps using Cask
• Command line utilities using brew, pip etc.

It will also adjust several MacOS defaults, configure Emacs, Vim, Nano and bunch of other stuff. I invite you to read install, it should be mostly self explanatory.

git clone https://github.com/chkhd/init-macos
cd init-macos
./install

The script will try to make backups for most stuff in ~/backups but local files intended to be populated by automation or install itself will be ruthlessly overwritten.
