+1 I love homebrew. I just set up my new M1 Max machine and half of the setup work was just brew commands to install cli stuff and casks <3. It's such a joy to not need to go to a bazillion websites to download dmgs
what a flex on your new M1 MAX ;) But yeah, homebrew should ship as default with any OS X at this point...
did brew leaves from your old machine not hey you a transferrable list of packages?
Every time I setup OS X I like to go through my osxsetup.sh bit by bit to see if there’s anything I didn’t use, change or update. Takes a little longer but it’s nice to take that time every couple years I go through it
‘brew bundle dump’ does an even nicer job of this. Check it out!
