A beginner's guide documenting how to set up a full development environment on macOS, covering tools like iTerm2, Homebrew, Git, VS Code, and languages such as Python, Node.js, and Ruby. It is a curated tutorial/reference document rather than executable software.
Use cases
- set up a new MacBook for software development
- learn how to install Homebrew, Git, and VS Code on macOS
- configure Python, Node.js, and Ruby on a fresh Mac
- reinstall macOS and need a reminder of dev environment steps
- guide for friends new to programming on a Mac
- set up PostgreSQL, Redis, and Elasticsearch locally on macOS
When to choose
- you are new to Mac and want a step-by-step developer environment setup
- you want a simple, opinionated checklist for reinstalling macOS
- you need a reference covering common languages and dev tools on macOS
When to avoid
- you need automated, reproducible provisioning (use dotfiles or Ansible/Nix instead)
- you require up-to-date instructions for the latest macOS versions
- you need a runnable tool rather than a written guide
