Homebrew will install everything we defined on the Brewfile file. Once this file is ready, we just need to run: brew bundle Optional: Other apps that rely on external hardware (e.g.Dev: Apps related to software development.
Here’s the “cleaned up” version I use: cask_args appdir: "/Applications"Īs we can see from this example, the Brewfile is divided into three sections: Now it’s time to clean up this file a bit, add some comments to divide it into sections, and add missing apps that were not found by dump. brew regular Homebrew command-line apps.tap a Git repository of Formulae and/or commands.In this file, we usually find the following commands: If we open the file created by dump, we’ll find a list of apps installed on our computer, but for now, this is limited to apps installed with Homebrew and from the Mac App Store. Next, we’ll create a Brewfile file by dumping all software currently installed in our computer brew bundle dump We’ll start by installing Homebrew, entering this command in a Terminal window: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL )" SPM, Cocoapods) but when it comes to software in our OS we do this manually and need to install stuff from various places. When we write software, we sometimes manage our dependencies using package managers (e.g.
To improve this, I decided to make good use of Homebrew’s Bundle to automate this process. For me, things don’t end here, sometimes I don’t remember ALL the apps I need to install and it’s a bit annoying to realise what’s missing when you are mid-work and something’s not there. This endeavour takes a lot of time, mostly spent looking for installers and waiting for downloads/installs and, sometimes waiting for expanding compressed files (I’m looking at you Xcode). In both cases, I decided not to use a Time Machine Backup, so that means I had to install a lot of apps to make my computer feel familiar. The first time, because my computer died after a macOS update and the second time because I got a new computer from work. Recently, I had the fun task of setting up my Mac from scratch… twice.
