🛠 Download git clone and exec

If you're setting up a fresh macOS install and don’t have Homebrew or Git installed, follow these steps to get everything up and running:

Run the following command in your terminal to install Homebrew, Git, clone the repo and execute setup script:

Default folder is ~/dotfiles/

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew install git
mkdir -p ~/dotfiles
git clone https://github.com/r18duarte/mac-dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
chmod +x ~/dotfiles/macsetup.sh
sudo /dotfiles/macsetup.sh

What this command does

1. Installs Homebrew — macOS package manager

2. Installs Git — version control system (if it’s not already installed)

3. Clones this repo — dotfiles into ~/dotfiles

4. Runs macsetup.sh — Installs all the tools listed in the "Tools Installed" section
