This playbook installs and configures most of the software I use on my Mac for web and software development. Some things in macOS are slightly difficult to automate, so I still have some manual installation steps, but at least it's all documented here.

This is a work in progress, and is mostly a means for me to document my current Mac's setup. I'll be evolving this set of playbooks over time.

1. Install Ansible.
2. Clone this repository to your local drive.
3. Run $ ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml inside this directory to install required Ansible roles.
4. Run ansible-playbook main.yml -c local inside this directory.

Note: If you run the playbook from a different computer via SSH, remove the -c local from the command above.

Not everyone's development environment and preferred software configuration is the same.

You can override any of the defaults configured in default.config.yml by creating a config.yml file and setting the overrides in that file.

For example, TODO.
