There are quite a few dotfiles out there in the world, but this one is mine.
Built for development on a mac or Linus OS, also works in WSL.
More of n installation script than just dot files. this is how i configure my new computer when i get one.
Python | PHP | Java | Node | Dart | Swift

This defaults you to zsh, and oh-my-zsh. This also installs powerlevel10k theme for zsh. [fish](https://fishshell.com/ is not included, as zsh 'just works' and is still the default shell for OSX.
Git is configured, or installed if it is missing. pre-commit a tool for git repos, by including a pre-commit hook pre-commit will run lint/tests prior to allowing pushes to the repo. It's added to the 'dev' (source ~/.venv/dev/bin/activate) virtual env that is also added.
A whole bunch of command line alias' are configured, and a small set of functions.
It also adds a bin directory to your home, and a scripts directory, and adds some simple scripts to the folder, and adds bin to your path.
Homebrew (brew) works on all the OSes managed by this script, so it's a great choice. I love brew, and most packages are there, including casks, and cross-platform support all make it a great option.
There are three IDEs installed or configured by this script. Xcode, Android Studio, and VSCode.
Docker is installed, and allows for all sorts of fun as a developer. Aside from installing it, no containers are created, that is left up to you :)
This covers all the top languages, in current rank order at the time of this writing, we are only missing one.. JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, PHP, C/C++. In 8th-10th place is Go, SQL, and Dart. Dart is included, and SQL is also included, as it's not a stand alone language that you use with a compiler.
DotNet is the only one not included, sorry MS! I'm a mobile and web developer primarly. As an amatur game developer, I've used C# with Unity, but I've not needed it stand alone.
C and C++ are not specifically called out in the script. But VSCode can work with C/C++ (not as great as CLion), as well as xCode. So you can work with them. Developer tools are also installed (make, clang, gnu c compiler) So go ahead get going with C++!
Flutter dev includes fvm as an SDK manager, this is important to have so that you can see how the app works on newer versions of the SDK (previews, etc) and that you can maintain your apps, by keeping the older versions that at times devices get stuck on.
CocoaPods (pods) is included for dependency management for Swift and Flutter development.
Android development is mostly managed by Android Studio.
Node development includes nvm for managing node SDKs.
pnpm for a JavaScript package manager. pnpm can also manage node versions, so trying to just use that.
Java development uses jenv for SDK management. Java itself varies by machine, but OpenJDK is installed.
Apache Maven (mvn) is included for project management. Gradle is also installed as some projects use this or mvn, so both are added. Gradle may be the future, but maven is still used on some of my projects.
PHP is most commonly associated for me with WordPress, but there are lots of reasons PHP is popular. PHP 8 is installed, as well as composer. Composer is a dependecy manager for PHP.
Python development is supported by uv. This is a combination tool that replaces pip, pipx, pyenv, and virtualenv. That is a lot of tools, and so it's a bit more complex than some other tools, however it's so fast (written in Rust) and once you get the hang of it, you are going to love it.
I did not install Anaconda as part of the script, simply becuase I don't find myself using it very much, as most of my projects use some form of pip.
Ruby is installed to the latest version (or multiple versions are installed) and asdf is added to manage the versions. Bundler is also installed.
