MacOS Device Bootstrap Script for Geeks

This installs and configures common tools needed by a geek in his/her daily life.

Structure

The entry point is run.sh.

Homebrew installations

Call the following function to install a Homebrew package:

brew_install <formula> <install_guard_path> <name>

where:

• formula is a Homebrew cask/formula name
• install_guard_path is the path to check if this package needs to be installed
• name is the human readable package name

After installation the following script is being executed, if present:

./<formula>/setup.sh

Other configurations

Call the following function to run other custom scripts:

configure <target>

This will call the following script, if present:

./<target>/setup.sh

Secrets

The secrets.sh files are ignored in this repo. You can use these files to export environment variables and to call them from the other setup.sh script files. For example, the git/secrets.sh might contain:

export GIT_USER_NAME="Your Name"
export GIT_USER_EMAIL=your.email@example.com

NOTE: The secrets.sh files don't need:

• to be executable, as they are called using source
• the bash shebang, as they will be invoked in the context of the main script (i.e. Bash)
