Automatic installation of apps, tools and libraries for frontend devs

Usage

1. Edit the Brewfile.example and edit, add or remove casks as you like.
2. If you want to put your apps anywhere else than ~/Applications, edit the cask_args appdir line accordingly.
3. Rename Brewfile.example to Brewfile and move it to your home directory along with install_packages.sh.
4. Ensure that you have admin privileges then run chmod +x install_packages.sh && ./install_packages.sh.
5. Make sure that the installed Python version is available in your path as python and pip is available as pip. It is probably necessary to add an alias like alias python=python3.10 and alias pip=pip3.10.

What the script does

1. Install xcode utilities
2. Install homebrew
3. Add homebrew/bundle tap
4. Install all software listed in the local Brewfile
