# Mac OS X configuration
#
# This configuration applies to the latest version of macOS (currently 11.3),
# and sets up preferences and configurations for all the built-in services and
# apps. Third-party app config should be done elsewhere.
#
# Options:
# --no-restart: Don't restart any apps or services after running the script.
#
# If you want to figure out what default needs changing, do the following:
#
# 1. `cd /tmp`
# 2. Store current defaults in file: `defaults read > before`
# 3. Make a change to your system.
# 4. Store new defaults in file: `defaults read > after`
# 5. Diff the files: `diff before after`
