  • Ansible

    Ansible is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy and maintain. Automate everything from code deployment to network configuration to cloud management, in a language that approaches plain English, using SSH, with no agents to install on remote systems. https://docs.ansible.com.

    A more complex solution would be Ansible.

  • dotfiles

    :wrench: .files, including ~/.macos — sensible hacker defaults for macOS

    it's worth recognizing the dotfiles concept is fractured so there are a hand full of project styles, I use this one which comes with a simple shell script to bootstrap the dotfiles into place https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles. Each one as it's own approach but they all accomplish the same thing.
