Script to install stuff I want on a new OSX machine (last tested on macOS Catalina)

mac-setup.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# 
# Bootstrap script for setting up a new OSX machine
#
# Before you begin:
# - Install nvm: `curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.1/install.sh | bash && nvm install node`
# - Install rvm: 
#   - `curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable`
#   - `rvm install {{version}}`
#
#
# How to run:
#  1. Download the script (curl, etc)
#  2. Give executable rights: `chmod +x mac-setup.sh`
#  3. Run with `sh -x mac-setup.sh` (some app will need your password)
#  4. Once complete, review your output and take needed actions (ie. "keg-only" messages)
#
#
# Notes:
#
#  - If installing full Xcode, it's better to install that first from the app
#   store before running the bootstrap script. Otherwise, Homebrew can't access
#   the Xcode libraries as the agreement hasn't been accepted yet.
#  - This should be idempotent so it can be run multiple times.

# Future ideas:
#  - Migrate this to a README similar to https://github.com/ajmalsiddiqui/dotfiles
#  - Add .exports similar to mathiasbynewns above

Last used today. Had to run it three times. Second it installed utils. Third it installed casks. May need to handle errors better with the script, it's probably exiting early due to a hiccup.
