`setup-sdk.zsh`	Install core tools for Java I use.
`setup-macos.zsh`	Configure macOS and the Terminal to be smarter.

Install

WARNING ‼️ Make sure you know what you are doing and use at your own risk!

First, run xcode-select --install to enable Command Line Tools.
Next, run softwareupdate --install-rosetta enable Rosetta 2.
Then, install Oh My Zsh.
And, download and install Homebrew (or brew) and follow the post-installation instructions.
Next, clone this repo into the hidden .dotfiles directory. Homebrew should install git, so we should be fine.
```
git clone https://github.com/kosalanuwan/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
```
Create (or recreate) symlinks for .dotfiles.
```
source ~/.dotfiles/setup-symlinks.zsh
```
Then, update, upgrade, and install core tools and the stuff via brew.
```
source ~/.dotfiles/setup-brew.zsh
```
Next, install core tools for Java and the stuff via sdk.
```
source ~/.dotfiles/setup-sdk.zsh
```
SDKMAN install script tweaks our .zshrc file but those export commands are already done in the .zsh_exports, so we can disregard those changes.
Download the rest of the apps from Apple App Store or otherwise.
- Microsoft Office
- Microsoft OneDrive, and
Configure macOS and the Terminal.app to be smarter.
