Custom recipe to get OS X 10.10 Yosemite running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. On average, I reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between distros.
This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.
You are encouraged to fork this and modify it to your heart's content to match your own needs.
The software selected is software that is "tried and true" --- software I need after any fresh install. I often install other software not listed here, but is handled in a case-by-case basis.

Homebrew can not install properly until this occurs.
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew doctor
At the time of this writing, brew doctor
says that Xcode 6.1
is required, which means downloading it from the Apple Developer Center until it is released in the Mac App Store.
Nothing to do anymore. Homebrew handles this by default.
Databases are installed later.

@kevinelliott Hi, this is really helpful. BTW, I was wondering if something similar to this was in making for El Capitan too?
