An OSX 10.10 Recipe.

Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite

While rebuilding I prefer as much verbose automation as possible.

Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite Setup

Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Custom recipe to get OS X 10.10 Yosemite running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. On average, I reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between distros.

This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.

You are encouraged to fork this and modify it to your heart's content to match your own needs.

Install web development tools to Mavericks (OS X 10.9)

Install web development tools to Mavericks (OS X 10.9)

Strongly opinionated set of guides to quickly setup OS X Mavericks for web development. By default OS X hides stuff that normal people don't need to see. These settings are better defaults for developers.

I don't want: any sounds, annoying confirmation dialogs, hidden extensions, superflous animations, unnecessary things running like Dashboard, Notification center or Dock(Alfred/spotlight works better for me).

These are my opinions. Read this document through and pick up the good parts to your preferences.

OSX for Hackers: Yosemite/El Capitan Edition. This script tries not to be *too* opinionated and any major changes to your system require a prompt. You've been warned.
