## brew installed packages

List is stored in `brew.txt`. Compile list with `brew list -1 > brew.txt`, then
on a new machine, install it with `xargs brew install < brew.txt` (not
recommended).

## CLI settings

```bash
defaults write -g InitialKeyRepeat -int 12
defaults write -g KeyRepeat -int 1
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/screenshots/
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool true
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteUSBStores -bool true

Allows values between 0-6. Needs a logout afterwards

```bash
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain NSStatusItemSelectionPadding -int 6
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain NSStatusItemSpacing -int 6
```
