macOS defaults

System preferences (Finder, Dock, Trackpad, screensaver lock, menu bar clock, …) are managed declaratively in macos/defaults.yaml. Every entry carries its defaults(1) type so the same manifest can be both read and written.

Requires yq (v4+): brew install yq.

./dot.sh --macos          # apply the manifest to this machine
./dot.sh --macos-diff     # show keys where the manifest and system disagree
./dot.sh --macos-export   # read current system values, rewrite the manifest

macos/defaults.sh is standalone — it can be run directly with ./macos/defaults.sh {apply|export|diff}.

--macos-export only refreshes keys that are already listed in the manifest. To add a new setting, edit defaults.yaml by hand first, then re-export to capture its current value. This avoids accidentally dumping entire domains like com.apple.dock (which embeds machine-specific persistent-apps binary blobs).
