There are a lot of people have posted their configurations and successful installation guides in GitHub, but they are hidden very deeply so that many newbies cannot find the configuration the same with their machine. It’s a great pity:( So I came up an idea that why not to build an index which can collect some basic knowledge about operation system and successful Hackintosh configurations together? Maybe we can add some systematic guides in it too. It’s just a new repo, but I will do this step by step.

Apple used to be pretty aggressive with shutting down repositories of knowledge on building Hackintoshes. I'm not saying this is still the case but it might explain why locating guides and configuration requires a great deal of effort.

  > locating guides and configuration requires a great deal of effort Not that. It is difficult because everyone and their dog made a 'guide'. Sifting through the noise requires science skills, same for all IT stuff. Be a Pro :))

    One reason is that there are kexts specific to each piece of hardware as well as the osx version. With 3 primary hardware components (mobo/cpu/gpu) there are countless combinations to put together. When I set mine up, I couldn't find any specific guide that matched my set up. I actually couldn't find ANY that used my specific mobo. I frankenstein'd it together with a combination of easily 10+ guides. Had I been more motivated, it would have been perfectly reasonable to write up a guide myself.
