Quick Forge

Setting up a new Mac for development is always a pain. I wanted a way to run one script and have everything I need for JavaScript/TypeScript dev—without spending hours configuring stuff manually.

So, Quick Forge was born.

Still a work in progress, but it already does a bunch of useful things:

What it does

• Installs Homebrew (because macOS without it is pain)

• Sets up Git and an SSH key for GitHub

• Installs VS Code, Node.js, Deno, and Bun

• Installs pnpm (my package manager of choice), WezTerm (modern terminal), and zsh with autosuggestions & syntax highlighting

• Lets you pick between Zen Browser or Arc

How to use it

1. Clone the repo (or download it as a zip)

2. Run: chmod +x setup.sh

3. Then: sh setup.sh

This is still a work in progress—the terminal setup needs a lot of improvements, and I’ve got a bunch of other stuff planned. Stay tuned!
