getting started

# please pay attention to the terminal.  These installations have a lot of feedback on the commandline to view.

# rvmrc
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
rvm install 2.0.0

# install command line tools for building.
xcode-select --install

# install homebrew
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

# get homebrew-cask
brew tap caskroom/cask
brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask

# see the appdir path below.  without it, you'll install to ~/Applications, which is perfectly fine for some people
brew cask --appdir=/Applications install sublime-text sequel-pro google-chrome sourcetree google-drive caffeine hipchat iterm2 robomongo ngrok shuttle vagrant

# install service stuff
brew install mysql elasticsearch redis mongodb memcached rabbitmq node sqlite imagemagick

We probably want to standardize on RVM, right?

Cask

• Robomongo is better than MongoHub - http://robomongo.org/
• Probably don't need to require Spotify
• Does anyone use Atom?

Brew

• Add: Node, ImageMagick, Memcached, Sqlite (maybe Rabbit?)

good calls

RVM

• \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby=2.0.0 to install Ruby alongside RVM in one command

Cask

• Virtualbox for Vagrant

Other

Brew supports brew bundle per this article on Thoughtbot's blog. My Brewfile from my dotfiles repo currently looks something like this:

update
tap homebrew/binary
tap jingweno/gh
tap phinze/cask
tap thoughtbot/formulae

install autojump
install brew-cask
install direnv
install docker
install gh
install gist
install gitsh
install gpg
install htop-osx
install ncdu
install node
install packer
install rbenv-gem-rehash
install rcm
install ruby-build
install ruby-install
install ssh-copy-id
install tmux

cask install adium
cask install calibre
cask install github
cask install gitx
cask install launchrocket
cask install menumeters
cask install ngrok
cask install --appdir=/Applications virtualbox
cask install --appdir=/Applications vagrant

The syntax is basically any brew <whatever> command with the brew portion removed. A good way to see what non-dependency packages you've installed with homebrew is brew leaves.

This all kind of ties into my blog post for Monday :)

@shanesveller - Thanks, I wasn't aware of Brewfile. Maybe we make public forkable repo with a base file and let people fork and customize as needed for personal use (because everyone should be familiar with git rebase or merge when our base changes)

started a repo here
https://github.com/jdoconnor/mac-setup

Some more things to probably add:

• https://github.com/opscode/chef-dk
• vagrant plugins (berkshelf and chef-zero)
• 1password
• Macvim

Thoughts on opening some websites to get started?

• http://sig.bellycard.com/
• order business cards form

Thoughts on any default config files like square's https://github.com/square/maximum-awesome?

This may be operating at one level higher. But, something to consider: http://osxc.github.io/
