Developer workstation baseline

Developer Pro is coming soon. This is preview documentation; details may change before release.

A good developer Mac should not be rebuilt from memory every time a new starter arrives.

What this helps with

A standard baseline for common tools, settings, policies, scripts, and security choices.

Follow these steps.

  1. List the tools every developer workstation needs.
  2. Separate common baseline tools from team-specific tools.
  3. Add the profiles, policies, scripts, and notes needed for each tool.
  4. Check which items need admin approval, licensing, or security review.
  5. Save the baseline so the next Mac starts from known ground.

Checks before you move on

  • Common tools listed
  • Team-specific tools separated
  • Security review noted
  • Baseline saved
