Update dotfiles script to automate xCode CLI tools

Open iamnewton opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

  • Create a script to check if xCode is installed; if so inform the user, if not run automated install script of xCode CLI tools
  • Create a recursive script to automate xCode CLI tools; checks version of kernel to ensure user is on 13 or up (Mavericks) as thats when xcode-select --install was introduced.

Issue: #33

Thanks! This looks great. I'm pretty swamped at the moment but will get to this when I next work on my dotfiles.

No problem, you probably don't need this anymore, if you're on OSX 10.9+ & you use the newest version of Homebrew install. They are doing an xCode command line tools install for you now. Although one thing to note about that; it will break your Homebrew installation of macvim as that requires the full xCode installation.

If you're interested I've forked your repo and "improved" (depends on your perspective) upon it with more features, such as...

  • Using a Brewfile to install all homebrew packages
  • Script to change login shells to new homebrew installed version
  • Change out Pathogen for Vim (uses submodules) for Vundle (automates everything for you)
  • Logs to the console.app as well as stdout and allows you to run in silent mode
