dotfiles VS laptop

This is my plugin management framework that I refactored into its own dedicated plugin. The main reason for its existence is to remove a big chunk of my configurations out of my dotfiles (refactor(nvim): migrate plugins to plug.nvim) so it could focusing on configure the plugins instead of managing it.

I did the same with my dotfiles setup, but it's for my personal preferences.

Moreover, I think I have more options to skip particular part / packages while also try to be idempotent as much as it can.

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.
