🌱 My Macbook setup as a minimalist, designer, and frontend engineer.

My Frontend Setup for MacOS

This repo is heavily inspired by Dries Vints' awesome blog post and dotfiles repo.

Beginner's guide

If you're a beginner to setup, I wrote a blog post with an intro to the shell, the basic utilities and config files involved in the frontend setup process. I've also commented on the purpose of each of the scripts in the files.
