  • awesome-dotfiles

    A curated list of dotfiles resources.

  • 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.

  • ios-starter

    Small template for iOS Xcode projects

  • Useyourloaf also has a good post and repo. I have also started using cookiecutter and XCodeGen (Tuist is a really interesting alternative) to start new Xcode projects. My setup is based on this repo.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • rbenv

    Manage your app's Ruby environment

  • I believe rbenv would be the alternative to rvm. I'm happy with it but feel about as strongly about it as you do rvm. Along these lines, look into pipenv or poetry for Python

  • homesick

    Your home directory is your castle. Don't leave your dotfiles behind.

  • use github with a pattern like dotfiles or homesick, read more here.

  • GitUp

    The Git interface you've been missing all your life has finally arrived.

  • Gitup is also a good option. Open source, good graph, undo redo support https://github.com/git-up/GitUp

  • npm

  • This gist has more info as does this issue. The latter mentions this having been fixed but the former alludes to continuing problems.

  • nvm

    Node Version Manager - POSIX-compliant bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions

  • The docs for nvm have the following note:

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
