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!
