Uses

An up-to-date list of things I use in my daily life. Inspired by Wes Bos' uses.tech.

👨‍💻 Editor / Terminal

My dotfiles are managed with yadm and can be found here: github.com/0scrm/dotfiles

🎛️ Software

I install almost everything here using Homebrew, a package manager for macOS. Whenever I get a new mac, I run a modified version of this Ansible playbook to setup all my apps, OS settings and dotfiles.
