GenesisEnvironment Setup That Actually Works

Stop Wasting Time on Setup ​

Remember that 4-hour setup guide that didn't work? The "works on my machine" bug? The new developer who spent their first day installing tools?

Yeah, we fixed that.

# One command. That's it.
curl -fsSL https://genesis-docs.vercel.app/install | sh

# Now you have Genesis globally
genesis init    # Create your environment config
genesis apply   # Make it happen (5 minutes vs 2 hours)

Real-World Magic ​

New Developer Onboarding (15 Minutes) ​

# Day 1 at new job:
git clone company-project
cd company-project

# Genesis config is already in the repo
genesis apply

# 5 minutes later:
# ✅ All tools installed
# ✅ All repos cloned
# ✅ Environment configured
# ✅ Ready to contribute

Team Standardization ​

# DevOps creates the perfect config
# Commits it to the repo

# Every developer runs:
git pull
genesis apply

# Everyone has identical environments
# No more "works on my machine" issues

Project Switching ​

# Working on Project A (Node.js stack)
cd project-a
genesis apply

# Switch to Project B (Python stack)
cd ../project-b
genesis apply

# Genesis handles the switch perfectly
# No conflicts, no mess

Quick Example ​

import { defineConfig } from "@ossl/genesis-core";
import {
  node,
  python,
  git,
  java,
  go,
  docker,
  homebrew,
} from "@ossl/genesis-plugins";

export default defineConfig({
  tools: [
    node({ version: "20", use_nvm: true }),
    python({ version: "3.11" }),
    git({
      version: "latest",
      install_method: "package",
    }),
    docker({
      version: "latest",
      include_compose: true,
      install_desktop: false,
    }),
    homebrew({
      update_packages: true,
      install_cask: true,
      add_to_path: true,
    }),
  ],
  languages: [
    java({
      version: "17",
      distribution: "openjdk",
    }),
    go({
      version: "1.21",
    }),
  ],
  repositories: [
    {
      url: "https://github.com/your-org/backend",
      path: "./backend",
      branch: "main",
    },
  ],
  env: {
    NODE_ENV: "development",
    API_URL: "http://localhost:3000",
  },

languages:
  - type: java
    version: "17"
