macos-installer

Karim Benbourenane's personal macOS installer script. For both fun and profit. Aquick way to prepare a fresh machine to have all the tools of the trade as well as personal artifacts, the way I like it.

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/karimbenbourenane/macos-installer/master/configurator)"

Paste that into a macOS Terminal and hit enter to run the installer.

What does it do?

In the following order, this script

1. Installs the chezmoi dotfile manager
2. Initializes chezmoi using my dotfile repository
   • The dotfile repository is not public
3. Pulls down and stages all the latest dotfiles in that repository
   • Includes configuration for Homebrew brew bundles via Brewfile
   • Includes configuration for vim-plug vim plugin manager via vimrc
   • Includes configuration for several other things like ssh, git, and gpg
4. Creates folder structure for XDG Base Directory Specification
5. Installs Oh My Zsh
6. Installs the Homebrew package manager
7. Installs all Homebrew bundles in Brewfile
8. Installs static PyCharm script
9. Installs vim-plug and vim plugins in vimrc
10. Installs Github Copilot for command line

Can I use this?

No. If you're reading this and you're not me, this script of of zero value to you. It requires access to the private dotfile repository, which only I have access to. I'm hosting this project publicly so that I can quickly bootstrap a new machine at a moments notice by running a single command.

Why is this public then?

Because I wanted to create the most brain-dead way of setting up a new development machine, and preparing this script to be used at a moments notice was the path of least resistance. I didn't write this for you, I wrote it so I wouldn't forget how to run this in the future.

The update function

Once everything is installed, you're ready to go. The update function is loaded into each Terminal session, and can be executed to keep everything up to date in one convenient shell command.
