I'm not calling your project slop! Geeze, it's a joke... Do you own this repo?

Log in with GitHub as BragatteMAS. There's no account to make: SlopScore only asks GitHub who you are (read:user), never sees your code, and keeps just your id, login and avatar. Then you can:

  • Keep it, on your terms. Commit your own slopscore.md (spec) and press Refresh. Your paperwork replaces the Cap'm's, and you can submit it for Slop of the Day.
  • Take it down. One click on Remove. It stays gone; the trawl never brings it back.

The Cap'm's log

The Cap'm wrote this paperwork, not the owner. This repo never submitted itself to SlopScore. The Cap'm picked it by hand: Cross-platform post-install automation for Linux, macOS & Windows. One command to set up your entire dev envir; its own README says "by mathiasbynens/dotfiles ( thoughtbot/laptop ( - Static analysis via ShellCheck ( - Diagrams via Mermaid ( - Built with Claude Code ( as co". It carries the Apache-2.0 license. The disclosures above are his best guess from what GitHub shows.

README — the repo's own words, folded up so the grading fits on one screen

OS Post-Install Scripts

Two commands to turn a fresh OS into a fully configured development environment.

Version: 5.7.0 License: Apache 2.0 Platforms: Linux | macOS | Windows Shell: Bash 4.0+ ShellCheck: compliant

Terminal with starship prompt, custom aliases, and modern CLI tools

A fully configured terminal: starship prompt, curated aliases, modern Rust CLI tools.

Why

Every fresh OS install means hours of manual setup: installing packages, configuring dotfiles, tweaking system preferences. This repo replaces that with two idempotent commands per OS. Pick a profile (minimal, developer, or full), run them, get back to building.

Quick Start

macOS / Linux

git clone https://github.com/BragatteMAS/os-postinstall-scripts
cd os-postinstall-scripts

./bootstrap.sh         # prereqs: Homebrew + Bash 4+ on macOS, git/curl/build-essential on Linux
./setup.sh --dry-run   # preview what will be installed
./setup.sh             # install (default profile: developer)

Windows

git clone https://github.com/BragatteMAS/os-postinstall-scripts
cd os-postinstall-scripts

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\bootstrap.ps1   # prereqs: winget + Git
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\setup.ps1 -DryRun
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\setup.ps1 -Profile developer

Don't have Git yet? winget install Git.Git, restart PowerShell, then clone.

Just Want the Terminal?

If you only want a modern terminal (CLI tools + prompt + aliases + zsh plugins) and don't need the full system setup, run the terminal blueprint directly:

git clone https://github.com/BragatteMAS/os-postinstall-scripts
bash os-postinstall-scripts/terminal-setup.sh --interactive  # wizard — choose components
bash os-postinstall-scripts/terminal-setup.sh --dry-run      # preview first
bash os-postinstall-scripts/terminal-setup.sh                # install everything

Windows: examples/terminal-setup.ps1.

What it installs:

Component Details
Nerd Font JetBrainsMono Nerd Font (auto-installed)
CLI tools bat, eza, fd, fzf, ripgrep, delta, zoxide, starship
Prompt MAS Oceanic Theme (powerline, git, languages, status bar) + 3 presets
Aliases 50+ shortcuts for git, navigation, sysup (system + installed AI CLIs), mkcd, gcb
Functions Welcome message, h (help), preview (fzf), aliases (search)
Plugins zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-completions
Safety --dry-run preview, --interactive wizard, automatic backups, idempotent

Demo:

Dry-run preview of a minimal profile setup on macOS

Since v5.1.4 the main setup.sh also offers to run this at the end (interactive prompt). Skipping the prompt? Run bash terminal-setup.sh --interactive whenever you like.

Profiles

Feature Minimal Developer Full
System packages (apt / brew / winget) ✓ ✓ ✓
Dev tools + Rust CLI baseline ✓ ✓
GUI apps (cask / flatpak / snap) ✓ ✓
AI / MCP tools ✓
Personal preferences ✓
Estimated time 2-5 min 5-15 min 10-30 min 
./setup.sh minimal      # essentials only
./setup.sh developer    # neutral dev defaults (default)
./setup.sh full         # developer + extras (browsers, AI editors, design apps)

Note: full adds opinionated personal extras (specific browsers, AI editors, design apps). If you want only neutral dev defaults without the curator's personal apps, use developer.

Profile details: docs/installation-profiles.md.

Modern CLI Tools

The developer and full profiles install Rust-based replacements for traditional Unix tools:

Traditional Modern Why
cat bat syntax highlighting, line numbers
ls eza icons, git status, tree view
find fd intuitive syntax, respects .gitignore
grep ripgrep (rg) faster, respects .gitignore
cd zoxide (z) frequency-based smart jumping
diff delta syntax-highlighted side-by-side

Aliases configured via data/dotfiles/shared/aliases.sh. Full reference: docs/modern-cli-tools.md.

Common Usage

Skip every prompt — ./setup.sh -y full runs end-to-end with no interactive questions. Use this when you want a hands-off install on a fresh machine.

./setup.sh --dry-run         # preview, no changes
./setup.sh -y full           # unattended full install (skips ALL prompts)
./setup.sh dotfiles          # symlink dotfiles only
./setup.sh unlink            # remove dotfile symlinks (restores backups)
./setup.sh defaults          # macOS system defaults (Dock, Finder, etc.)
./setup.sh drift             # report packages no longer in lists
Flag Short Env Var Description
--dry-run -n DRY_RUN=true preview without installing
--verbose -v VERBOSE=true debug output with timestamps
--unattended -y UNATTENDED=true skip confirmation prompts
--groups -g GROUPS_MODE=true replace all-or-nothing cask install with interactive picker (10 curated groups)
--help -h — show help

Cask groups (--groups mode)

bash setup.sh --groups developer (or full) skips the default cask install and shows an interactive multi-select. You pick which groups to install:

Group Apps
browsers Firefox, Chromium, Chrome, Zen, Brave, Opera
ai-editors Cursor, Zed, Claude (desktop + CLI), ChatGPT, Antigravity
code-editors VS Code, Sublime Text, Warp, Positron, RStudio
dev-infra Docker, OrbStack, DBeaver, Insomnia, GitHub Desktop
productivity Rectangle, Alt-Tab, Raycast, HiddenBar, Caffeine, AppCleaner, Numi, MeetingBar
communication Slack, Discord
knowledge Obsidian, Zotero
media IINA, Spotify, CapCut, Loom, Clop, Wispr Flow
creative Inkscape, GIMP, Affinity
essentials Bitwarden, Google Drive, LibreOffice, Logi Options+, Karabiner, Nerd fonts

UI uses gum choose --no-limit (Charm's TUI) when available — bash numbered-menu fallback otherwise. All formulae, Rust CSV tools, and AI tools install as usual. Edit data/packages/groups/*.txt to customise.

Customization (extra packages, custom profiles, dotfiles): docs/user-guide.md.

Platform Support

Platform Package Managers Architectures
Ubuntu / Pop!_OS / Mint APT, Snap, Flatpak, Cargo, npm x86_64, arm64
macOS Homebrew, Brew Cask, Cargo, npm Intel + Apple Silicon
Windows 10/11 WinGet, npm x86_64

Troubleshooting

Problem Fix
bash 3.2 too old on macOS run ./bootstrap.sh (or brew install bash)
./setup.sh: Permission denied chmod +x setup.sh
APT lock on Linux wait for unattended-upgrades / Software Center to finish
winget: command not found update App Installer from Microsoft Store
PowerShell execution policy blocks script use -ExecutionPolicy Bypass flag (shown in Quick Start)

For mid-install failures with brew see the recovery cookbook in docs/troubleshooting.md. Full pitfalls list: docs/PITFALLS.md.

Safety

  • Dry-run skips all sudo requests, network calls, and file mutations
  • Existing dotfiles are backed up to ~/.dotfiles-backup/ before any symlink
  • ./setup.sh unlink restores original files from backups
  • Script never deletes files outside its own backup paths

For vulnerability reports: SECURITY.md.

From the balcony · 2 of 4 clapped

  1. Cap'm Slopclapped
    Clear README with what it does, how to run it on three OSes, dry-run mode, and honest disclosure that it's AI-generated with light human touch.
  2. Crusoeclapped
    No vulnerable dependencies, clear local-only automation story, no credential requests, and transparent about being AI-generated with light human touch.

Schnitzel and Princess read it and passed. Their reasons are on the balcony, with every other verdict.
