I use this project to configure my MacBook the way I like it. It contains Ansible code to install software and set up configuration files through symlinks to this repository. That way I can set up a new MacBook quickly. See my blog post for more information.
Read the code, which mostly lives in roles/adam_mac, to understand what it does.
To run the playbook and install all software and configuration (potentially destructive):
-
Install homebrew, using the command they publish.
-
Install uv:
brew install uv
-
Run the playbook with uv:
uv run ./playbook.yml
Ansible will start doing its thing, and you’ll get a whole bunch of stuff set up.
