When switching computers, check out ./migration/backup_old_machine for some more commands to run on the old machine, step by step.
On the new computer, copy the needed parts from ./migration/setup_new_machine to install Xcode Command Line Tools, Homebrew, Composer, WP-CLI, et al. Use ./migration/configure_macos to set some sensible OS defaults.
For Homebrew, the Brewfile is used to install packages. Make sure you regularly update this file using brew bundle dump --force. This could take a moment, so use brew bundle check before hand.
The stow command at the end symlinks the bash and Git configuration to the home directory. Check out this blog post for more information about stow.
Bonus: change the Terminal theme as per these instructions.
