Motivation

I spent a significant amount of time setting up the machine everytime I get a new one. Time Machine did help me a lot in the past. But with time the system still gets filled with junk.

There are many open-source projects out there for provisioning a new mac, but I didn't trust them much. So instead of diving deeply in those codes, I prefer to write this script on my own. This script just does the following tasks:

• Installing the Xcode Command Line Tools
• Install the homebrew
• Install some essentials tools
• Install the development setup:
  • oh-my-zsh and install some plugins
  • tmux and install some plugins
  • ssh/git setup
• Install languages
  • python
  • rust
  • jvm
• Install AWS tools
• Install some GUI tools
• Install some tools from MAS

Usage

Installation

 sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minhtuannguyen/mac_provisioning/main/scripts/install.sh)"

How to use

Manual steps

However, there are a few manual steps to do:

• Setup keyboard, trackpad options in the system preferences

  • copy on selection:
    • General -> Selection
