starter's Introduction

Starter

Take the monotony out of macOS system setup.

When configuring a new Mac, or when performing a clean installation of macOS, there are a number of setup tasks that may be automated, including:

  • The installation of 3rd party applications.
  • The installation of command line tools.
  • Configuration of system and application preferences.
  • Creation of a local file system hierarchy

Starter allows users to configure these settings prior to installation, and create reproducible macOS environments.

Installation

Simply clone the repository, cd into the local starter repository and then:

source install

To configure the various system and application preferences, cd into the local starter repository and then:

source starter

Tools

Starter uses Homebrew and Cask to install 3rd party applications.

While Starter will install these tools prior to launch, it is recommended that any 'dotfiles' that may affect the configuration of these tools be installed prior to initializing Starter.

starter's Issues

Death of TotalTerminal

Since early betas of OSX El Cap TotalTerminal hasn't launched correctly. After a lot of digging around it was eventually discovered that the new Rootless Protection was hindering TotalTerminal from running correctly. As it's no longer under development, and not natively supported in El Cap, it could be time to remove it from the Cask File application list.
Have you considered replacing it with iTerm2? It doesn't have the great visor functionality that TotalTerminal offered, but it comes close with the hotkey hiding feature. Another option would be to investigate including the disabling of Rootless Protection in Starter.
Thoughts?

Add finder option to keep folder always on top

Thanks for this project. This is a useful collection to setup my mac. There is one option I added to my script apps/finder.sh.

# Keep folders on top when sorting by name
defaults write com.apple.finder _FXSortFoldersFirst -bool true

regards,
David

typos in apps/safari.sh

line 13: "Srtart"
line 32: "-stirng"
line 80; "-boot"

.. also. This doesn't seem to work anymore:
defaults write com.apple.Safari ProxiesInBookmarksBar '()'

macOS configuration compared to Migration Assistant

I have a (seemingly ignorant) question. How does this setup compare to OS X's Migration Assistant assuming you are perfectly happy with your current machine setup? Is there a particular reason you prefer having a scripted setup?
