# 🎒 brewpack
Automate your Mac setup.
- Install your favourite tools and apps on your new Mac with a single command
- Join a new team and automatically install the things you need
## Installation
```sh
brew install rouanw/brewpack/brewpack
```You'll need to have [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) installed.
## Get started
```sh
# create a packages.yml file
# if you already use homebrew, brewpack will include your installed formulae
brewpack init# install something new
brewpack install --save git
brewpack install --save --cask google-chrome# joined a new team? get the stuff you need
brewpack install --repo example-company/funteam# got a new Mac? get all your stuff back.
brewpack install
```It's recommended that you keep your `packages.yml` file somewhere other than just your Mac. Push it to GitHub or sync it with something like Dropbox. Take a look at [my `packages.yml`](https://github.com/rouanw/packages/blob/master/packages.yml) for an example.
## Bugs & feature requests
Brewpack is still new and I need your feedback to shape it. [Open an issue](https://github.com/rouanw/brewpack/issues/new) and let me know.
## Contributing
Pull requests are very welcome. If you're unsure about the functionality you'd like to add, open an issue first so we can talk about it.
# API
## `brewpack install`
__brewpack__ needs a `packages.yml` in the directory it's run from. Use it to specify what you'd like installed:
```yml
---
packages:
- git
- mongodb
casks:
- atom
- docker
- google-chrome
```Run `brewpack install`.
The specified `packages` will be installed using [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) and the `casks` will be installed using [Homebrew-Cask](https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask).
## `brewpack install `
Instead of directly using homebrew to install what you need, proxy the call through __brewpack__ so it gets saved to your `packages.yml` file.
### Examples:
Install a core homebrew package and save it to your `packages.yml`:
`brewpack install --save git`
Install a cask (usually an app) from [hombrew-cask](https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask) and save it to your `packages.yml`:
`brewpack install --cask --save google-chrome`
## `brewpack install --repo `
Install a formulae from a `packages.yml` hosted on GitHub:
`brewpack install --repo rouanw/my-packages`
Where `rouanw` is the GitHub user and `my-packages` is the name of the repo. It needs to have a `packages.yml` at its root.
If you regularly push your personal packages repo to GitHub, this is an easy way to get yourself set up on a new Mac.
This can also be really handy for sharing a team setup. Imagine you join the Platform team at FunCorp:
`brewpack install --repo funcorp/platform`
## `brewpack init`
Run `brewpack init` to create a new `packages.yml` file in your current directory. If you've already been using Homebrew, it will include the formulae you already have installed.
