README

The following explains the code that sets up my development environment.

It’s inspired by “My Dev Setup is Better Than Yours” by ThePrimeagen on Frontend Masters.

It targets macOS and is powered by bash.

Requirements

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paultibbetts/dev/main/install | bash

This script will prep the system for installation and then run all the other scripts.

It’s interactive and you will need to enter your sudo password a few times.

My dev environment changes a lot so I have scripts that I use when I make a change, which is faster than running everything all over again.

./env

The ./env command will configure the developer environment files.

These are mainly dotfiles that go into the ~/.config directory.

The tools that use these configs will then need installing and setting up.

./run

The ./run command will run other run files.

By default it will run all run files in runs/system and runs/tools.

You can pass in arguments and options to change what it runs.

It’s interactive and may need you to enter the sudo password a few times.

./run --bootstrap

Passing --bootstrap to the ./run command will also run the initial bootstrap scripts.

You will only need to do this once and it has already been ran if you used the install script.

You can filter the run command by passing in a string as the first argument.

By default there is no filter applied.

./run bootstrap will run only the run file in the bootstrap directory.

./run system will run only system tooling run files.

./run tools will run only user tooling run files.

./run neovim will filter for run files with neovim in the name.
