Ok, I spent the last couple of days on this #brewfile project and figured it out with some help from my friend @BillWeiss

The #GitHub project I was initially pointed to for creating/ingesting brewfiles and trying to use has all sorts of issues, to the point where I ended up opening an issue with the project. The documentation is horrid, with all sorts of assumptions for the reader - it was painful. #KISS #keepItSimpleStupid

Thankfully BV pointed me to https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle which just worked with no issues at all.

A simple
"brew bundle dump"
created the brewfile, added some edits and copied it over to my 'new' mac pro
then
"brew bundle install"
and things are getting installed!

someone in my team at work last week decided to pick a #macBookPro (in #AppleSilicon) for his hardware refresh and i got the question i simultaneously have prepared for all my life and dread: “What are some good tips for using a mac?”

fortunately they're a technical resource so i got to lead off with #Homebrew and a couple of #awesome repositories and i know he's a #vim guy so i suggested #neovim and #neovide along with a few essentials for #infosec professionals.

a #Brewfile is underrated.

hello, i've shared a gist of the #Brewfile from ICON, an intel #macOS workstation i use for creative work and research.

it runs among other things: Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC, Photoshop/Bridge, Affinity, iMovie, Handbrake, but also gets used for virtualization, #PKM duty (#DEVONthink 💪 and #Obsidian), some amateur radio stuff and tooling for same.

ICON does too much, honestly, but if anyone is curious what sort of tools i use, this is basically it.
