You can find many tools on GitHub (or elsewhere) to bootstrap your Dotfiles. Some people choose to rely on Ansible, others on some tools you have to install. But how to install a tool that install the tools? Manual installation is not an option. It's like a chicken-egg problem.

New Mac Coding/Dev Setup
You might want check out some of the more popular mac-specific dotfiles like those from mathiasbynens. Here is a good list of good repos. I must must admit that I have not yet gone this route (been meaning to), but one potential advantage is that you have multiple people working on / debugging a reproducible configuration.

Using GNU Stow to manage your dotfiles (2012)
There's also `homesick`[1], which is a Ruby dotfile manager. If you don't feel like managing a Ruby distro and want something more portable (and `homesick` looks to be a stale project anyway), you can use `homeshick`[2] which is a Bash port that's still being maintained. (I use `homeshick`)
The last time I dug into this, `homeshick` was had more features and fit my needs better than `stow`.
Alternatively, check out YADM[3], "Yet Another Dotfile Manager", which I'm probably switching to once I get some time.
