UMTS Developer Workstation Setup

This repository is a Homebrew tap for performing the "last mile" setup of a UMass Transportation developer workstation.

We use Strap to handle most of our configuration, but its authors hold the (reasonable) stance that specific development tools should live in the project repositories that require them.

However, from a pragmatic standpoint, we have very green developers, and we almost exclusively develop Rails applications. So, we break with Strap's convention in order to get folks a happy path to a working rails new tutorial.

The umts-dev Cask

Essentially, a no-op cask that:

1. Depends on nodenv and rbenv
2. Runs the umts-dev-setup command below

brew install --cask umts-dev

The umts-dev-setup external command

A brew "external command" that performs some post-install steps:

1. Adds the shell-initialization for both nodenv and rbenv
2. Installs the most recent Ruby
3. Sets that Ruby as rbenv's global default

brew umts-dev-setup

Integration with Strap

• Set the CUSTOM_HOMEBREW_TAP environment variable to "umts/umts-dev"
• Set the CUSTOM_BREW_COMMAND environment variable to "install --cask umts-dev"
