Are you tired of the tedious process of setting up your Mac from scratch after a fresh install or format? This script is designed to automate the installation of essential apps and configurations, saving you time and effort.\n\n## Features\n\n- **Automated Installation:** Say goodbye to manually installing your favorite software and tools. This script automates the process, making your setup hassle-free.\n- **Brewfile Detection:** If you have a Brewfile present in the same folder as `install.sh` it will use that instead of the `config`file.\n- **Customizable Configuration:** Tailor the setup to your needs with a customizable configuration file. Choose the software and settings you want with ease.\n- **Comprehensive Setup:** From updating macOS, installing Homebrew and essential software, to configuring system preferences and Dock settings, this script covers all bases to get your macOS ready for use.\n- **No External Dependencies:** The script runs without the need for any external dependencies, ensuring a smooth setup process.\n\n## What Does It Do?\n\nThe script performs a variety of tasks to prepare a macOS machine for use:\n\n- Updates macOS to the latest version.\n- Installs Homebrew, the package manager for macOS.\n- Installs essential software and applications through Homebrew casks and formulae.\n- Offers the choice between installing Node.js via NVM (Node Version Manager) or Homebrew.\n- Installs global NPM packages.\n- Provides options to install additional software, such as .NET, Firefox Developer Edition, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Epic \u0026 Steam, Unity Hub, and Figma.\n- Cleans up the installation environment by running `brew cleanup` and other maintenance commands.\n- Sets up Git with global username and email configurations.\n- Installs VSCode extensions.\n- Installs selected apps from the App Store using `mas` (Mac App Store command-line interface).\n- Installs and configures ohmyzsh for a better terminal experience.\n- Applies custom system settings and Dock configurations to optimize the user experience.\n- Automatically updates Homebrew installed packages with a specified frequency.\n\n## Getting Started\n\n1. **Clone this repository** to your local machine.\n2. **Modify `config` file:**\n\n- Adjust `CASKS`, `FORMULAE`, `NPMPACKAGES`, `VSCODE`, and `APPSTORE` sections to select the software you wish to install.\n- Change the `SETTINGS` to choose system settings or `DOCK-*` to choose dock setup.\n\n- **Optional: Add a `Brewfile`:**\n  - Add a Brewfile to the same directory as `install.sh` and it will run instead of the selected packages in `config`.\n    (Note that `SETTINGS` will still be applied from `config`)\n\n3. **Run the Script:** Open Terminal, navigate to the cloned directory, and execute:\n\n```\n./install.sh\n```\n\nFollow any on-screen prompts to customize your installation further.\n\n## To Do and Feature Ideas\n\n- **Error Handling:** Now only takes in to account a user who runs it for the first time.\n- **Improve Prompts:** Refine the prompts for a more intuitive setup experience.\n- **Specialized Packages:** Add options for game development, web development packages, etc.\n- **Configuration files:** Settings for Apps, Workflows etc.\n- **Enhanced User Experience:** Incorporate a checklist (TUI), ASCII graphics during installation.\n- **Others:** Include options to log out of FaceTime/Messages automatically.\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are what make the open-source community such an amazing place to learn, inspire, and create. Any contributions you make are **greatly appreciated**.\n\nIf you have a suggestion that would make this better, please fork the repo and create a pull request. You can also simply open an issue with suggestions.\n\nDon't forget to give the project a star! Thanks again!\n\n## Acknowledgements\n\n- This script is built by someone tired of the manual setup process and hopes it helps others streamline their macOS setup.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdonnybrilliant%2Finstall.sh","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdonnybrilliant%2Finstall.sh","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdonnybrilliant%2Finstall.sh/lists"}
