💻 A shell script to install and configure macOS.
Clean-macOS Setup is a simple script that can be used after a clean installation of macOS to configure and install all the apps that you need. It uses dotfiles and shell scripts in order to speed up the configuration of macOS. This has been built off scripts and commands I have gathered over time. I can not be considered the author of this fully, hence this falls under the MIT license.
