# macOS-bootstrap
A simple script that brings macOS system to a desired state. May be useful to run
after a fresh installation or on a regular basis to reconcile the OS.
Basically, the script tweaks the OS and installs and updates apps and packages.
## Usage
### Fresh macOS installation
1. Open Terminal app.
2. Install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh)
3. Install a fresh version of bash to replace outdated macOS builtin bash:
```shell
brew install bash
```
4. Run bootstrap with the profile name:
```shell
./bootstrap
```
### Reconcile
Run bootstrap, the profile name is optional:
```shell
./bootstrap [PROFILE_NAME]
```
### Profiles
Profile configuration files are located in [profiles](profiles/) under the name
of the profile.
**brew_cask_pinned.list** - if the file exists, the script will pin the casks
listed in this file.
