Homebrew is a package manager that makes it easy to install UNIX tools which don't come with OS X. Using the Homebrew package manager provides a great amount of control over the software installed on an OS X system, and it can be used to provide missing elements to run Drupal directly on OS X as a development environment.

I didn't set out to use Homebrew. I simply wanted to use wget instead of curl. I had no idea that would lead me to completely change my development setup.

To ensure a launch process goes smoothly I like to create three checklists. A pre-launch checklist covers everything you need to do a few days before launch to ensure everything is prepared. A launch checklist outlines the actual process the launch team will go through during the launch window itself. And a post-launch checklist details a variety of tasks you can’t really do until the site is live, and you do a few days after launch.
