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

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

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

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

Happy hacking!
