I usually maintain a little git repository `.dotfiles` with all my personal preferences and config files. Although it is designed to be made public, I didn't do it - I was too scared I forgot something :-) In this repo I also created subdirectories for automated setup scripts for different operating systems. It looks something like this: docker ... custom docker files and scripts etc git .gitconfig .gitignore_global ssh hosts.d config vim vimrc zsh ... (multiple config files and dirs, e.g. powerlevel10k) linux artix setup.sh fedora setup.sh ubuntu setup.sh macos setup.sh common_functions.sh All I need to do is install git, check out the repo and run the setup script of the current system - works for linux and macOS, although I don't use macOS that much any more. These Scripts are designed to be run multiple times without damaging anything. Works out pretty well. For macOS I tried to automate as much as possible (via `brew` and `brew --cask` and for settings via `defaults write`), similar to all these repositories using this technique: https://dotfiles.github.io/inspiration/ https://dotfiles.github.io/inspiration/ Additionally from time to time I try to lookup hardening guides like this: https://github.com/drduh/macOS-Security-and-Privacy-Guide https://github.com/drduh/macOS-Security-and-Privacy-Guide
