My personal installation script for a new computer.
Note, this sets up an extremely opinionated and highly personalized installation, with my preferences and dotfiles. Please adjust as needed!
My dotfile repo is currently private, but I plan on creating a public repo before the end of the year.
Some resources borrowed from:
- https://github.com/ruyadorno/installme-osx/
- https://gist.github.com/millermedeiros/6615994
- https://gist.github.com/brandonb927/3195465/
Open the terminal, then:
bash -c "`curl -L https://git.io/new-computer`"This command runs the following script:
# _ _ _ _
# ___ _____ __ (_)_ __ ___| |_ __ _| | |
# / _ \/ __\ \/ / | | '_ \/ __| __/ _` | | |
