Introducing brew-coffee - One Command Dev Environment Setup

[MyrinNew]

If you’ve ever onboarded to a new project, switched laptops, or tried spinning up a fresh dev setup, you probably know the pain inconsistent environments, missing packages, broken dependencies, endless brew installs…


So I built brew-coffee a lightweight, modular, Homebrew-powered CLI that turns environment setup into a 10-second, zero-stress, fully reproducible process.


☕ What is brew-coffee?

brew-coffee is a simple CLI wrapper around Homebrew bundles. It helps you:

• Install entire developer environments with a single command
• Use curated bundles for programming languages, cloud providers, and dev tools
• Reuse modular Brewfiles for clean organization
• Check, clean, or list bundles easily
• Keep your setup consistent across machines or teams

🚀 Getting Started

Clone the repo





git clone https://github.com/n4en/brew-coffee.git
cd brew-coffee







Make the script executable





chmod +x ./coffee.sh







☕ Usage Guide

📜 List Bundles





./coffee.sh list







Example:






- python
- nodejs
- aws
- azure
- gcp
- k8s
- infra
- dev







▶️ Install Bundles

Single bundle:






./coffee.sh install python







Multiple bundles:






./coffee.sh install python nodejs aws







Install everything:






./coffee.sh install







🔍 Check Installation Status

Check one bundle:






./coffee.sh check aws







Check all:






./coffee.sh check







🧹 Clean Bundles

Remove only what belongs to the bundle:






./coffee.sh clean aws







Clean all bundles:






./coffee.sh clean







⚠️ Important about Homebrew behavior:

Homebrew may uninstall “unneeded” dependencies while cleaning.

If something breaks, simply reinstall the required bundle:






./coffee.sh install







🧱 Creating or Customizing Bundles

All bundles live in the bundles/ directory and follow the format:






.Brewfile







➕ Add a new bundle





touch bundles/my-new-bundle.Brewfile







Install it:






./coffee.sh install my-new-bundle







✏️ Customize existing bundles

Feel free to add/remove packages to suit your workflow or your team’s environment standards.
