Formation is a shell script to set up a macOS laptop for design and development.

It can be run multiple times on the same machine safely. It installs, upgrades, or skips packages based on what is already installed on the machine.

Download the script and review it (please don't run scripts you don't understand):

git clone [email protected]/eduardoboucas/formation.git && cd formation && less slay

Slay:

git clone [email protected]/eduardoboucas/formation.git && cd formation && ./slay 2>&1 | tee ~/slay.log

Just follow the prompts and you’ll be fine. 👌

⚠️ Warning: I advise against running this script unless you understand what it’s doing to your computer.

I created this based on my own preferences; your mileage may vary.

Once the script is done, quit and relaunch Terminal.

It is highly recommended to run the script regularly to keep your computer up to date.

Your last Formation run will be saved to ~/slay.log. To review it, run less ~/slay.log.

That's it! ✨

Cask does not recognize applications installed outside of Homebrew Cask – in the case that the script fails, you can either remove the application from the install list or uninstall the application causing the failure and try again.

Inspiration and code was taken from many sources, including:

• Mathias Bynens' dotfiles
• thoughtbot's laptop
