Manual steps that are still done on every new setup:

  1. Run ~/.dotfiles/zero/setup.
  2. Restart once completed (and as-needed for system updates done by the script).
  3. Rotate or import SSH keys.
  4. Import software licenses.

Then, in no particular order:

  • Set host name under System Preferences > Sharing > Computer Name.

  • Enable TouchID for sudo:

    • Open the Terminal app. Navigate to the directory that stores the authentication files by typing the following:
      cd /etc/pam.d
    • Next, copy Apple’s provided template to the actual file that the system will read. You’ll need to use sudo and enter your administrator password to get permission:
      sudo cp sudo_local.template sudo_local
    • Finally, open up the file you just made using your text editor of choice; I prefer pico. You’ll need to use sudo again here.
      sudo pico sudo_local
    • In that file, navigate to the line that contains with pam_tid.so and delete the hashtag (#) at the beginning. Save the file out by pressing Control-X, typing ‘Y’ to save your changes, and hitting Return.

Some of these are preferably not automated, others weren't possible AFAICT.
