Setup macOS

Set of shell scripts for automated macOS machine setup.

The macOS-setup project is an opinionated configuration which meets the needs of my development environment. The goal was to enable frictionless installs while being easy and fast to keep up-to-date.

It is also meant to serve as an example and guide for building your own personalized setup.

Spotlight

Xcode.app needs to be installed in order for Spotlight to let you deactivate the "Developer" results. You can fake this by creating an empty file with the same name in Applications.

touch /Applications/Xcode.app
