# Mac dev setup

> A macOS setup guide specific to front-end development.

## Guided Setup

For a guided setup, open up **Terminal.app** and run the following command:

1. Save repo to `~/Downloads` folder:

   ```sh

   git clone https://github.com/michaelschwobe/mac-dev-setup.git ~/Downloads/mac-dev-setup && \

   cd ~/Downloads/mac-dev-setup/scripts

   ```

2. Run the installer script.

   ```sh

   sh install.sh

   ```

   **OR** Run the installer scripts individually:

   ```sh

   sh defaults.sh

   sh tools.sh

   sh casks.sh

   sh optimizations.sh

   sh summary.sh

   ```

🔥 The scripts auto-skip prompts for items already installed. **Recommended:** Rerun as many times as needed.

✨ And thats it! For additional CLI and IDE customizations, refer to the related **Manual Setup** section below.

## Manual Setup
