Homebrew Files

README.md

Introduction

These files will install various packages intended for a macOS machine. The brief descriptions for the command-line type tools will be found in the Brewfile itself. The GUI typed application packages (i.e. Slack, Atom, Spotify) will be installed through Brewfile-cask. Please check through these two files and comment out tools you may not find useful.

Installation

Copy the files Brewfile-cask, Brewfile, and brew-install.sh to your local machine or Download the ZIP file for this gist and extract the contents.

Make the script executable with chmod +x brew-install.sh and then run the installation via ./brew-install.sh

This will install Homebrew a rich package manager for macOS. The brew-install.sh script will first check if you have this installed. If not, it will run the installation for you!
