dotfiles

Set up a new Mac quickly.

Structure

This script consists of 3 “domains”, each with its own purpose — symlinking, installing packages and applying user preferences. Those are represented by 3 top-level scripts, respectively: link.sh, install.sh and settings.sh.

Upon first execution, the following execution order must be adhered to:

1. link
2. install
3. settings

Subsequent runs may follow any order. Each script is idempotent.

How link works

TBD.

Highlights

• All brew and mas packages managed by a Brewfile.
• Automated installations of pdftk and SwiftDefaultApps.
• Extensive customization of apps and defaults.
• Includes a script that greatly eases the process of granting apps “Full Disk Access” and “Accessibility” permissions.
• Automated login items management.
• Optimized .gitignore for macOS, Node.js and Xcode.
