This will do some Mac configuration as well as software installs for me. I want to improve my Bash scripting, so I made this in the process. When I have extra free time, I contribute towards it.

DISCLAIMER

This script is intended to run on a vanilla install of macOS Mojave. Mac configuration defaults may vary on the version and may not work. Make sure you backup your files and configurations before running this , remove undesired configs.

Steps

Fork 🍴
Run the inventory.sh script to create a list detected of packages and apps from Homebrew. Two files are populated in the configs folder:
- configs/brew_packages
- configs/cask_packages
New to Homebrew? Look here first.
Run install.sh 🏃‍

Folder Organization

configs - Software-related configurations. Settings are applied after Homebrew installs applications.
macos - System-related configurations. Settings are applied at the beginning of the script run. If one of your system configurations contain a software dependency, place it in the configs folder instead.

Additional Notes

This script heavily relies on the use of Homebrew.
The script will now prompt you to ensure you've logged in to the Mac App Store with your Apple ID. This is done to support Apple's two-factor (2FA) login, which does not play well with mas.
If you intend to use Homebrew, don't install xcode-tools separately in your setup, it may confuse Homebrew.
The FileVault recovery key is INCLUDED with the logs. Use discretion (hint : protect yourself) with your log location and obtain the key (I would like to figure out a better/secure way of doing this, if you have an idea, submit a PR or reach out.)

My ZSH theme is partially taken from Jared Allard's configs. You can look at his (far more robust) dotfiles configuration here.
