New Computer

==================

> You fancy, huh?

# Background

* This is a clone of my [Configuration-Files](https://github.com/khaliqgant/Configuration-Files)

[install directory](https://github.com/khaliqgant/Configuration-Files/tree/master/install)

but abstracted out so it's a bit easier to integrate and grok.

* Read [my medium post](https://medium.com/@khaliqgant/making-setting-up-a-new-computer-less-painful-ed0ef3d8342f)

for some additional information

# Getting Started

* This repo is meant to be forked. All of the data files are apps that I personally

use. I assume you have different apps than me, unless you've been stalking me

for a while.

* Presumably you have a new computer and are looking to set it up. You can just edit some

text files, set some preferences in the .env file and the scripts do the rest.

# Dependencies

* This project leverages [mackup](https://github.com/lra/mackup) and 

[homebrew-bundler](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle). Both are 

relatively straight forward to setup but if you prefer not to use one of them,

this set of scripts will simply skip over it.

# Opinionated

* This is an opinionated way to configure your computer. By convention it 

prefers you to store your configuration in Dropbox.

# Development

## Tests

* Run 

```

./tests.sh

```

## To Dos

* Check if the data file has any things to install in it

* Check if mackup is installed and if there is a brewfile there

* ^^ Abstract out both scripts so it uses one method to check
