    I made something similar. Whenever I install a new workstation that runs Linux, I run this script:

    https://github.com/pkrumins/install-computer/blob/master/ins...

    This script installs all packages that I use, links all the dotfiles, all dockerfiles, all services, setups all virtual hosts, and the new workstation is ready to use in 5 minutes. Before it would take weeks to properly set it up as I'd always forget something (missing file or configuration option).

    My last setup was nearly 100% covered by Thoughtbot's laptop script: https://github.com/thoughtbot/laptop. Now I am highly inspired by @rwieruch and his personal setup documented in a post from February: https://www.robinwieruch.de/mac-setup-web-development. I will combine "copying" system preferences from my iMac, updating my old script based on Thoughtbot's and picking additional highlights from Robin.

    Nice work! I’ve used a similar script for Ruby dev (actually I use it as a reference rather than just running it, but still useful): https://github.com/thoughtbot/laptop

    The oldest commits on this script are 11 years old and nothing in the last year, which seems quite stable. At the same time I was able to ask an intern to just run it, and bam! they have everything they need installed.

    One use for it that surprised me was hearing a colleague saying that he reinstalls his OS after every change of client and runs the setup script again so there’s no fear of IP theft but also no downtime from having an unconfigured machine.
