On the workstation

  • asimov: keeps node_modules, Gradle build and other rebuildable folders out of Time Machine; runs once a day.

  • pam-reattach: Touch ID for sudo also works inside tmux.

  • mkcert: trusted HTTPS certificates for local development.

  • terminal-notifier: notifications from scripts, such as the weekly update.

  • mas: installs App Store apps from the Brewfile.

  • fileicon: sets a custom icon on a folder or an app from the command line (fileicon set ~/Developer icon.png).

  • A weekly update launch agent runs update and notifies you.
