This scripts installs and configures most of the software I use on my Mac for web and software development.

Intro

1. Setup uses XDG Base Directory Specification and is heavily inspired by this blog post.
2. yadm is used for managing dotfiles, and mackup is used for managing some desktop application preferences.
3. zsh, powerlevel10k, and antidote work together with iterm2 to provide high-performance, beautiful, and handy terminal defaults.
4. Some things in macOS are slightly difficult to automate, so there are a few manual installation steps, but at least it's all documented here.

Installation

# Enable TouchID for sudo (uncomment corresponding line).
# Note: at least in the US, you cannot be compelled to give up a password by a court (it's considered a violation of the 5th amendment), but your biometrics are not secret, so you can absolutely be forced by a court to biometric auth.
