Interesting, thanks for sharing. Two questions:

Does this make a backup of an existing set of .files?

Does this also install required packages using brew?

1. It doesn't do a good job in making a backup of existing files as it's meant to be setup on a new machine. However, the setup script can be quickly modified to backup existing files. See [0].

2. Yes, it installs required packages via brew both on macOS and Linux. See [1].
