Dock clean up 🧹

As I find the default MacOS dock is cluttered, this playbook will also remove the following from the dock:

• Keynote
• Numbers
• Pages
• Freeform
• Contacts
• Maps
• Mail
• Messages
• Notes
• TV
• App Store
• Safari
• System Settings
• FaceTime

Default software clean up

This script also removed the following:

• Keynote
• Numbers
• Pages
• iMovie

After the script is complete, you will have to empty the Trash.

What could be considered missing?

Currently, I have no need for the following packages and thus I have omitted them

• Docker
• Kubernetes

Known Issues

PNPM error

ERR_PNPM_NO_GLOBAL_BIN_DIR  Unable to find the global bin directory\n\nRun \"pnpm setup\" to create it automatically, or set the global-bin-dir setting, or the PNPM_HOME env variable. The global bin directory should be in the PATH.\n

For some reason, source ~/.zshrc doesn't always seem to do the trick, if you get this error, just close your shell, open a new one and run bin/apply.
