Laptop

Laptop is a script to set up a macOS laptop for software development.

It can be run multiple times on the same machine safely. It installs, upgrades, or skips packages based on what is already installed on the machine.

Install

curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nicholasjhenry/laptop/master/mac
less mac
sh mac 2>&1 | tee ~/laptop.log

Slim Install

Skip the bundle of optional desktop apps (1Password, Slack, Zoom, Sourcetree, browsers, fonts-adjacent utilities, etc.) and install only the core CLI tooling:

LAPTOP_SLIM=true sh mac 2>&1 | tee ~/laptop.log
