Brewfile for macOS software management

We use Homebrew a.k.a. brew to install software on our macOS computers.

Introduction

This repository has our Brewfile, which manages much of the software that we use for projects.

This Brewfile helps us install:

• Hundreds of desktop applications, such as browsers, players, editors, etc.
• Hundreds of system utilities, such as command line interfaces, sysop helpers, etc.
• Dozens of programming capabilties, such as languages, toolchains, servers, etc.

To learn about Brewfile capabilties, please see:

• http://brew.sh/
• http://homebrew-file.readthedocs.io/
• https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle

Using a Brewfile helps us with our Infrastructure as Code (IaC) initiatives.

Feedback welcome. Pull requests welcome.
