New Mac Config

My previous Mac was starting to overheat so it was swapped for another.

I decided to install things as I required them rather than restore from a Time Machine backup as I thought I'd probably built up a lot of things that did not need over the last couple of years.

Here are my notes on the basic tools and config for a new Mac that I find useful working mostly with AWS.
