mac-dev-bootstrap

A very opinionated Ansible playbook to install, configure and update software and development tools on a Mac.

Getting Started

• To begin first-time installation, run ./mac-dev-bootstrap.sh --tags [MACHINE_TYPE] where [MACHINE_TYPE] is work for work machines or personal for personal machines.
  • Note: When getting Bash must not run in POSIX mode. Please unset POSIXLY_CORRECT and try again. error, install Homebrew and upgrade Bash to the latest version:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew install bash

• To install/configure just specific installation(s), run ./mac-dev-bootstrap.sh --tags "[ROLE_TAGS]", ex:

  • ./mac-dev-bootstrap.sh --tags "nvm": Install just NVM.
  • ./mac-dev-bootstrap.sh --tags "nvm,gcloud": Install NVM and Google Cloud SDK.

• To display the arguments passed to each task, run ANSIBLE_DISPLAY_ARGS_TO_STDOUT=true ./mac-dev-bootstrap.sh.

• To update all the tools in the future, run update --tags [MACHINE_TYPE] where [MACHINE_TYPE] is work for work machines or personal for personal machines.
