Install other stuff

brew bundle --file=$HOME/.dotfiles/.Brewfile

Add homebrew's zsh to /etc/shells and chsh to use it. Then restart the terminal to take effect.

This repo's zshrc uses a compinit optimization that drastically speeds up the shell's startup performance. However, the optimization doesn't work unless the terminal session is initiated with the same shell that performs the optimization. Otherwise, it just recompiles compinit every time. Also, Apple isn't good about keeping its shell(s) up to date; on my M1 MBP, the zsh that is installed by the OS is for i386. Homebrew does a better job of keeping the shell updated, so we need to set MacOS to use it:
```
sudo echo "/opt/homebrew/bin/zsh" >> /etc/shells
chsh -s /opt/homebrew/bin/zsh
```
Customize! Most, if not all, machine-specific changes should go in ~/.zshrc.local, so create that file and get to work.

Troubleshooting

Permissions problem(s)

brew update can fail with permission problems, commonly reporting the error permission denied @ rb_file_s_symlink. This can be fixed byupdating the ownership of the homebrew root directory:

sudo chown -R $(id -un) $(brew --prefix)/*
