samgreen / osx-setup

A set of (opinionated) scripts to automate the setup of my development machine, starting from a fresh OS X install.

OS X Setup (OS X v10.8.4)

These (opinionated) setup scripts automatically configure my OS X development machine, following a clean OS X install. This speeds the processing of starting development from a new machine and provides peace of mind that everything is configured correctly (IMO).

Quickstart

First, I recommend you fork this project and tweak it in a few places (for example, your Git identity settings are not the same as mine) and peruse the scripts to ensure you are comfortable with what they do.

1. Select 'Download Zip' from the Github page or from your own fork.
2. Unzip osx-setup-master.zip by double clicking.
3. Install XCode Command Line Tools from Apple.
4. cd ~/Downloads/osx-setup-master
5. bash ./bootstrap.sh
6. Manually perform the tasks listed in osx-setup/manual.txt.

Pro Tips

• Create an OS X USB Startup Disk so that you can perform your own fresh installs.

Contributing

My machine setup strategy is evolving and I'm working to integrate provisioning and version controlled configurations into my setup strategy. As my own setup strategy changes, this repository will be updated to reflect those changes.
