dev-workspace-setup : a simple utility for Workspace Setup

Hi There!

Today, I introduce to you dev-workspace-setup a simple utility script to setup developement workspace environment on your mac.

As much as I love setting up a fresh new MacOS for the developement, I found it time consuming as I need to repeat it across multiple devices and when switching my macbook. I realized I am spending more time on setup rather than actual production.
So, I built this simple script which does it all for us.

Usage is simple:

# clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/anurag-khadatkar/dev-workspace-setup.git

# switch to the repository directory
cd dev-workspace-setup

# run the setup script
./setup-mac.sh
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you want to be in control of each step, use the wizard mode:

# run the script in wizard mode - each step needs your confirmation
./setup-mac.sh -w
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And if you want to manually install something which is missed during your initial setup Or you love to be in control, use the Manual mode:

# run the script in manual mode - choose what you need
./setup-mac.sh -m
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This is still a work in progress, I will keep updating it as I experience the need.

Happy hacking!
