This repo contains a shell script and resources to set up a new computer the way I like it.
I built this for personal use, and am releasing this publicly to help out anyone else who might want to draw inspiration - I assume no liability for any damage these scripts may cause to your machine!

There are a few scripts in here to run:
setup-macos.zsh: Run this first. Modifies MacOS preferences and sets up folder structure.setup-terminal.zsh: Sets up the terminal just the way I like it, along with some good utility scripts for iOS development.- This one involves a bunch of network requests, so be careful that they're all still correct when you run this.
I include a Hammerspoon init that contains utilities I use. Among them is system-wide push to talk, with an overlay that appears when the microphone is off.
If you have a Vanilla Whitefox keyboard and you're using my Hammerspoon scripts, this is for you. whitefox-vanilla-macos.json is a Kiibohd layout file that makes the keyboard just the way I like it on MacOS, with some modification for quick-toggling the mute scripts introduced in my Hammerspoon scripts. This layout is based on https://github.com/boyvanamstel/Whitefox-keyboard-macOS-configuration.
A small utility you can keep in the toolbar of your Finder windows. Creates a new file in the topmost Finder window with a blank name.
