I Setup New MacBooks

1. frizlabs-conf

   1 5 8 8.6 Shell

   Frizlab’s dotfiles and co.

   

   I have an open-source script which installs all my conf https://github.com/Frizlab/frizlabs-conf

2. Stream

3. ground-init

   2 8 57 7.4 Python

   Install a Linux machine locally with something that is almost, but not quite, cloud-init

   

   I have https://github.com/rcarmo/ground-init - which I also use for Macs, although via a bit of a hack right now. I should update it to a brewfile-like setup...

   Anyway, my $0.02 is that doing fully automated installs on Macs is a fast track to having weird Finder and settings bugs (if not worse), so I mostly just install packages and very seldom (if ever) apply settings via the CLI -- I've had Apple break things across too many OS releases to find that a worthwhile long-term strategy, and most of the time I'd rather just use Migration Assistant (across Macs with equivalent OS versions) or configure settings manually for a new OS release.

4. macos-defaults

   3 16 1,377 7.3 HTML

   Incomplete list of macOS `defaults` commands with demos ✨ (by yannbertrand)

   

   Just in case anyone is lost in all the `defaults write ...`, I really recommend https://macos-defaults.com/

   It's a really nice overview for (almost) all of the options.
