- Integration tests now run the full bootstrap (system + flatpak + custom + AI + VM packages) instead of '--only custom --no-vm --no-ai', so that custom-package prerequisites (zsh, gh, etc.) installed via SystemPackages are actually available. - Fix 'pnpm setup' failing with ERR_PNPM_UNKNOWN_SHELL in CI containers by exporting SHELL=/bin/bash before invoking it.

bootstrap_dev_env
A Go-based bootstrap tool that installs a development environment across
macOS, Debian/Ubuntu, RHEL/Fedora, and Arch Linux on x86_64 and aarch64.
It installs system packages, optional Flatpak GUI apps, and a set of custom
third-party tools (Go, Neovim, Zig, NVM, pyenv, oh-my-zsh, Firecracker on
Linux, agy, claude, codex, and copilot).
Install
Download the native binary for your platform from a release, or build from source:
git clone https://github.com/JMR-dev/bootstrap_dev_env.git
cd bootstrap_dev_env
make build # builds ./bootstrap_environment for the host
To produce native binaries for all four supported targets at once:
make build-all # writes dist/bootstrap_environment-{linux,darwin}-{amd64,arm64}
Usage
# Linux (do NOT use sudo on macOS — Homebrew refuses to run as root)
sudo ./bootstrap_environment [--only system|flatpak|custom] [--gui]
# macOS
./bootstrap_environment [--only system|custom] [--gui] [--no-vm]
Flags:
--only— restrict to one section (system,flatpak, orcustom).--gui— include GUI applications and the Flatpak section. Default is headless: both are skipped.--no-vm— macOS only: skip provisioning the Fedora-on-QEMU/VirtualBox VM that backs thefirecracker()zsh wrapper.--no-ai— skip installation of AI/LLM CLI tools (agy, claude, codex, copilot).
Package lists live in packages.go. Edit and rebuild.
