+# Bootstrap script for setting up a new OSX machine
+# 
+# This should be idempotent so it can be run multiple times.
+#
+# Some apps don't have a cask and so still need to be installed by hand. These
+# include:
+#
+# - Twitter (app store)
+# - Postgres.app (http://postgresapp.com/)
+#
+# Notes:
+#
+# - If installing full Xcode, it's better to install that first from the app
+#   store before running the bootstrap script. Otherwise, Homebrew can't access
+#   the Xcode libraries as the agreement hasn't been accepted yet.
