# Ansible MacOS Playbook

This is the playbook I use after a clean install of MacOS to set everything up.

## Roles/Tasks

- Installs Homebrew packages and app casks (Role `homebrew`)
- Installs App Store apps with [`mas-cli`](https://github.com/mas-cli/mas) (Role `mas`)
- Modifies MacOS settings (Role `settings`)
- Changes the user shell, if configured (Role `shell`)

## Installation

1. Install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).

```shell
brew install ansible
# Don't skip this, otherwise your computer will be provisioned like mine
cp default.config.yml config.yml
# Review the changes the playbook will apply
ansible-playbook --check main.yml
# Actually apply them
ansible-playbook main.yml
```

## Acknowledgements

This playbook is heavily inspired by
[Jeff Geerling's mac-dev-playbook](https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook).

The macOS settings (a.k.a. `defaults write`s) are mostly taken from
[Mathias Bynens' defaults scripts](https://mths.be/macos) or from one of the
dotfiles repos from [http://dotfiles.github.io](http://dotfiles.github.io).
