Brewfile Setup

This repository stores a Homebrew Brewfile so you can recreate this machine setup quickly.

Fresh machine setup (nothing installed)

Run this single command in Terminal:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" && \
echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> ~/.zprofile && \
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)" && \
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BashamL/brewfile/main/Brewfile -o ~/Brewfile && \
brew bundle --file=~/Brewfile

Note: This assumes Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3). For Intel Macs, replace /opt/homebrew with /usr/local.

Prerequisites

• Install Homebrew first: https://brew.sh

Restore this environment

From this repository directory, run:

brew bundle --file=Brewfile

This installs all formulas and casks listed in Brewfile.

Verify installed packages

Run:

brew bundle check --file=Brewfile

If everything is installed, Homebrew reports success without making changes.

Update the Brewfile after environment changes

After installing/removing apps or formulas, regenerate the file:

brew bundle dump --force

Then review and commit the updated Brewfile.
