Ok, I spent the last couple of days on this #brewfile project and figured it out with some help from my friend @BillWeiss

The #GitHub project I was initially pointed to for creating/ingesting brewfiles and trying to use has all sorts of issues, to the point where I ended up opening an issue with the project. The documentation is horrid, with all sorts of assumptions for the reader - it was painful. #KISS #keepItSimpleStupid

Thankfully BV pointed me to https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle which just worked with no issues at all.

A simple
"brew bundle dump"
created the brewfile, added some edits and copied it over to my 'new' mac pro
then
"brew bundle install"
and things are getting installed!
