Suggest homebrew-bundle as an alternative #46

No disrespect to cider, because I very much appreciated its facilities and your contributions, but the project seems largely dormant at this point. Would you consider suggesting homebrew-bundle as an active alternative in the README, particularly for those looking for new functionality like mas support (#36)?

RogerThiede commented 4 years ago

I don't consider homebrew-bundle to be an alternative.

Cider is valuable to me for its features of symlinks, defaults, and after-scripts with among other scripts, a specific after-script of executing brew bundle with an accompanying Brewfile.

Hi all, thank you for your interest in this project. I am replacing cider with a new utility, zero.sh. It uses brew bundle and provides the additional features of Cider that @RogerThiede mentioned above. In addition, defaults tooling has been moved to a separate utility that can be used independently of either project.

Please let me know what you think. It's pretty small, just a tiny shell script for now, but I found it useful for simplifying my setup. It may be migrated to something like an interpreted Swift script later depending on feedback, but wanted to see if I could keep it portable for other platforms.

Update: the above script has been migrated to a dedicated Swift CLI. It now functions fully as a drop-in replacement for Cider.
