More than onboarding, there is also the question of changing your laptop, and having to setup everything again.

Some pieces of software that help:

- Humble bundle (https://github.com/homebrew/homebrew-bundle) with a `Brewfile` stored in git and shared;

- dump of all dot files in $HOME encrypted and stored in the company's cloud (because it contains ssh private keys, or password manager db, etc);

- All documents are synchronized with OneDrive.

Mostly, there isn't a one-size fits all, but there is a common set of packages that all devs want, but IDE choice is personal, and many other things.
