Formation is an idempotent shell script that sets up a macOS laptop for design and front-end development. It installs and configures developer tools, package managers, CLI utilities, and apps via Homebrew, and can be safely run multiple times on the same machine.
Use cases
- set up a new mac for front-end development
- automate macOS laptop provisioning after a fresh install
- install homebrew packages and dev tools with one script
- keep my mac's development environment up to date
- configure a design and development machine from scratch
- script my mac setup so it's repeatable
When to choose
- you want a one-command, opinionated macOS dev environment setup
- you do front-end or design work on a Mac and want common tools preinstalled
- you need an idempotent script safe to re-run for updates
When to avoid
- you use Linux or Windows instead of macOS
- you want a fully customized setup and dislike the author's opinionated tool choices
- you prefer declarative configuration management like Ansible or Nix
- you're uncomfortable running shell scripts that modify system settings
