A guide and Boxstarter script for setting up Windows 11 for modern development, covering tools like Chocolatey, WSL, Git, Node.js, VS Code, and cloud CLIs. It automates turning a fresh Windows machine into a Mac/Linux-like development environment.

Use cases

  • set up windows for web development
  • make windows feel like a mac dev environment
  • automate installing dev tools on a fresh windows machine
  • enable wsl and bash on windows
  • install chocolatey and terminal tools on windows

When to choose

  • you have a fresh Windows machine and want a quick, opinionated dev setup
  • you want a curated list of Windows dev tools with install instructions
  • you prefer one-click Boxstarter automation over manual installs

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained configuration management tool rather than a guide
  • you want cross-platform dotfiles management
  • you need something updated for the latest Windows tooling landscape
