I just setup up a clean machine (thanks!) and had a minor problem: install.sh failed at first try since mkdir /usr/local/ couldn't be created w/o sudo priviledges. I added sudo to the command, but than install.sh failed just a few lines later, so I just run sudo ./install.sh

title says it all.
case-sensitive OS X shows these errors:

Remove the sleep image file to save disk space
rm: /Private/var/vm/sleepimage: No such file or directory
Creating a zero-byte file instead…
touch: /Private/var/vm/sleepimage: No such file or directory
…and make sure it can’t be rewritten
chflags: /Private/var/vm/sleepimage: No such file or directory

because the folder is called 'private', not 'Private'

You even mentioned shellshock in your blog post... and you still think switching to bash is a good idea?
A lot of other linux distros were pwned exactly because bash was their default (/bin/sh) shell.
Do NOT use bash as the system default shell.
You can use it (but why not zsh?) as your user shell (chsh) but DO NOT TOUCH IT IN debconf.

I've got this error

Have I missed anything here? fresh yosi install, ran command, entered admin password... Permission denied?

Not everyone uses Docker, but the script assumes that Docker is a required component.

The command ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)" on line 7 of os/osx/update/sh return with curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 400 Bad Request.

For my own brew stuff, I generate data files of my installed stuff via this shell function:

save_brew () {
    brew leaves > ~/projects/dotfiles/brew_leaves.txt
    brew cask list > ~/projects/dotfiles/brew_cask_list.txt
}

So I can just install stuff normally via brew and if I decide I want to keep it I can save_brew. I can install with:

brewify() {
  cat "${DOTFILES}/brew_leaves.txt" | xargs brew install
}

I think you'll find maintaining this easier if you move toward keeping code/logic separated from pure data of installed inventory.

Random side note that I like your notion of using golang for a new version of this.

Hi @matthewmueller ,

Just found this project. It looks really cool!

I've been using a similar project, laptop from thoughtbot, as a git submodule for its bash functions like so: https://github.com/AlJohri/dotfiles/blob/master/setup-homebrew.sh#L60

I'm curious what differences you see between this project and https://github.com/thoughtbot/laptop?

on fresh mac (upgraded from 10.9)

Steps to fix:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/{lib,bin}
sudo su
... (curl)
