Dotfiles (macOS Catalina)

This repository is a collection of config files and install scripts I use to setup my Mac.

WARNING: If you wish to use these dotfiles, you should review the code and remove things you don't want or need.

At least the following changes should be made:

Change Oh My Zsh installation path in config/zsh/.zshrc to your own value.
Change Git username and email address in git.sh to your own values.

NOTE: Visual Studio Code currently has a bug that requires security permissions before it can be opened. Installer loops opening VS Code as long as the permissions are missing. Security & Privacy settings are opened automatically where permissions can be given. Read more: microsoft/vscode#74782
