    Finishing up building my crkbd keyboard. Messed up making my custom cable though, but thankfully it was just a trial run.

    I mostly use homebrew with my dotfiles repo. See my Brewfile and my Brewfile.work for the packages I install. I keep them up to date by running bin/dot which runs all the updates. See bin/dot. The Brewfile calls out to mas as another user mentioned, which just keeps things up to date that brew can't handle.

    An 'up-and-coming' package manager is NixOS, but I haven't used it. Looks too difficult. On Windows, I've used Chocolatey with Boxstarter. I also use babun, which is a cygwin replacement. Then updating things is as easy as pact update.

    Linux of course is easy. apt-get, yum, etc. all handle package-management fine.
