mstrap (short for "machine bootstrap") is a tool for provisioning and managing a development environment. It is a convention-over-configuration tool, which aims to leverage existing ecosystem tools to provide a one-command provisioning experience for a new machine, and continued management.

Functionality

• Setup Homebrew for development package management
• Install basic development tools and setup reasonable system defaults (via strap or strap-linux)
• Setup environment for running shared, containerized services (currently via Docker)
• Clone and bootstrap projects
  • Automatic setup of web projects with a .localhost domain and locally-trusted TLS cert (via mkcert)
• Setup version-managed language runtimes (via mise, asdf-vm, and/or rustup)

mstrap is wholly centered around proving a no-runtime-dependency (other than normal system libraries) approach and will always remain a tool designed around getting you up and running immediately after taking a new machine out of its box and completing the OS setup.
