1_macos_config_script

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# ~/.macos — adapted from https://mths.be/macos
# there are many more settings in that file, i've removed some that are anyway the default, I see the point in including them
#  (in case source is not at default, or macos change the default), however the script is very large and unmanagable, and in principle 
#  I just  wanted to change settings that need changing
#  Also beware because this is not a fork, and many contributors are contributing there, this file will now need manually checking against that one

# basic principles of this: https://pawelgrzybek.com/change-macos-user-preferences-via-command-line/
# an easy way to determine config keys yourself is:
# defaults read > before
# then make your change in system preferences etc
# defaults read > after
# diff before after

# Close any open System Preferences panes, to prevent them from overriding settings we’re about to change
osascript -e 'tell application "System Preferences" to quit'

# Ask for the administrator password upfront
sudo -v

# Keep-alive: update existing `sudo` time stamp until `.macos` has finished
