  • Additionally, installs Snap, Flatpak, and NVM (Node Version Manager).
• Development Packages:
  • Installs tools like git, curl, vim, and more, using a Brewfile or the system’s package manager.
• Applications:
  • Installs essential applications like tldr, docker, and development tools.
• Configuration:
  • Creates .bash.local and .gitconfig.local for environment-specific overrides.
• Git Setup:
  • Creates an SSH key and configures Git for use with GitHub.

✨ Key Features

• Multi-OS Support:

🛠️ Prerequisites

Before running the setup, ensure the following tools are installed:

• git
• curl
• bash

🔧 Customization

.bash.local

This file is created during setup and can be used to define environment-specific configurations. Example:

# Add custom paths
export PATH="$HOME/custom/bin:$PATH"

# Define environment variables
export EDITOR="vim"

.gitconfig.local

Configure Git settings like username, email, and signing key:

```
[user]
  name = John Doe
  email = [email protected]
[commit]
  gpgsign = true
```

TO DO:

• Edit settings in /etc/default/grub (e.g., bootloader options).
• Fix thefuck installation issue.
• Add support for tldr installation (done).

Test it out and customize it to fit your needs. If you’re not sure, consider trying it in a virtual machine first!
