Mac Setup

Automated macOS setup with Homebrew and automatic backup.

🚀 New Mac Setup

# Clone this repo
git clone <your-repo-url> ~/setup

# Run install
cd ~/setup
./install.sh

This installs Homebrew and all packages from Brewfile.

🔄 Auto-Backup Setup

Run once to enable daily automatic backups:

cd ~/setup
./setup-autobackup.sh

This will backup your Brewfile and commit changes every day at 8 PM.

📦 Manual Backup

Want to backup now? Just run:

cd ~/setup
./backup.sh

🛠️ Managing Auto-Backup

# Run backup now (don't wait for 8 PM)
launchctl start com.user.brewfile-backup

# View logs
tail -f /tmp/brewfile-backup.log

# Disable auto-backup
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.user.brewfile-backup.plist

# Re-enable auto-backup
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.user.brewfile-backup.plist

# Check if running
launchctl list | grep brewfile-backup

📋 What Gets Backed Up

• Brew packages - CLI tools (git, node, etc.)
• Casks - GUI apps (Chrome, VS Code, etc.)
• App Store apps - via mas (Slack, Telegram, etc.)

💡 Tips

• Login to App Store before running install.sh for mas apps to work
• Configure git after setup:

  git config --global user.name "Your Name"
  git config --global user.email "your@email.com"

• To change backup time, edit the Hour in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.user.brewfile-backup.plist
