Clean-macOS is a simple script which keeps updated the mac-OS or install all the stuff after a clean installation. It uses dotfiles and shell scripts in order to speed up the configuration of mac-OS when you have to re-install your computer.

I've seen various repositories of various people on Github, and every single one of them seemed to be very different. The reason for this is that dotfiles are very personal and there is no "best setup". What I tried to acoomplish with this project is to create the simpliest setup for different kind of users: basic, developers, photographer, etc.

To do this I dove deep down into several repositories (see Acknowledgements) and found incredible ways to tweak various setup or organize things.

The basic idea behind this project is that the setup and configuration of a new Mac should be as smooth, simple and fast as possible. For this reason there is just one script that prompts a menu from which you chose what kind of profile you want to install on your Mac. Each profile has different apps/options but everyone shares a "core" function that install basic apps, dependencies or binaries. So no matter if you're a developer or a graphic designer, your Mac will be run just fine.

You need an active internet connection and one of the following macOS version:

• macOS 10.12 "Sierra"
• macOS 10.13 "High Sierra"
• macOS 10.14 "Mojave"
• macOS 10.15 "Catalina"

1. Do a fresh install of macOS (version 10.12+)
2. Open Terminal.app and download the project with the following command git clone https://github.com/MarioCatuogno/Clean-macOS.git ~/cleanMacOS
3. If you want to change the apps that will be installed edit the Brewfile file
4. Launch the command chmod 777 ~/cleanMacOS/cleanMacOS.sh

Open Terminal.app and run the following command ~/cleanMacOS/cleanMacOS.sh, the following promtp will appear from which you can choose one of the options:

1. Install Homebrew: install Homebrew package and dependencies
2. Install Applications: install binaries, cask and Mac Apple Store application listed in profile files
3. Configure macOS: configure macOS with useful commands
4. Update: update brews, casks and MAS applications and formulaes

If you have done a fresh install, run all the commands in the sequence listed above. For details on how to run the script click here.
