We open sourced our new Mac developer setup script

In plain words

This is an open source script designed to automate the setup process for Mac developers. It handles the configuration and installation of development tools and environments on macOS systems. The script is available on GitHub, allowing developers to quickly prepare their machines for coding work rather than manually configuring each tool. It's intended for Mac users who want to streamline their initial development environment setup.
