有什么方法可以将Mac OS X偏好设置保存到外壳文件中吗？

每当我重新安装Mac OS和/或购买新Mac时，都必须手动配置几乎所有鼠标，扩展坞等选项。

我想知道Mac OS或某些软件是否可以提供某种方式将我使用“系统偏好设置”应用程序设置的所有配置保存到Shell文件中，从而创建Mathias Bynens的https://github.com/mathiasbynens/ dotfiles / blob / master / .macos

系统偏好设置似乎存储在各个位置，具体取决于它们是用户还是系统特定的。其中很多存储在/Library/Preferences/或中$HOME/Library/Preferences/（针对每个用户的设置）。但是每个首选项窗格都有其自己的存储方式。

您可以通过键入以下内容查看哪些首选项以这种方式存储：

defaults read <domain>

<domain>每个用户系统首选项中文件名的开头或.plist文件的完整路径在哪里。例如：

defaults read com.apple.screensaver
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver

前者将显示您的用户自定义屏幕保护程序设置，而后者将显示系统屏幕保护程序设置。

这些设置主要由首选项窗格组织，尽管不一定那么简单。您可能需要四处浏览/Library/Preferences和SystemConfiguration查找子文件夹（尤其是），才能找到所有这些文件夹。

一种选择是只复制相关文件，然后将它们放回原处以进行新安装。

另一种方法是根据需要导出和导入它。

将电源管理（节能器）系统偏好设置导出到pm.plist：

defaults export /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement pm.plist

pm.plist从新计算机上导入这些首选项：

defaults import /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement sysprefs.plist

.plist如果您有/不想在计算机之间共享特定的系统偏好设置，则甚至可能要编辑各种导出的文件。这样，您可以在本地进行一些自定义，并且该import命令不会覆盖这些自定义，只需在.plist文件中添加您已设置的内容即可。您也可以使用该defaults命令来修改自己的.plist文件（但请确保指定文件的完整路径，而不仅仅是名称，否则您可能正在修改每个用户的首选项）。

自动生成脚本以进行所有必需的更改几乎是不可能的。Mac系统管理员在黑酒吧里花了很多时间喝啤酒或波旁威士忌，并交换了一些文件-我们不愿意共享所有工作，除非您准备好使用标签。

实际上，捕获配置更改的最简单方法是使用快照。

获取InstallEase的副本并为新Mac快照。现在进行所需的所有配置，然后可以拍摄另一个快照并构建一个安装程序，该程序会将更改后的文件安装到新的Mac中。

当将更改应用到新版本的操作系统时，当然会出现复杂情况，但这就是我们喝波旁威士忌的原因。

上次我进行全新安装时，我仅复制了整个~/Library/Preferences/文件夹，因此没有遇到任何问题。仅应忽略旧版本应用程序的设置和Mac特定的设置。~/Library/Preferences/全新安装中几乎没有文件，并且，如果您删除中的所有文件~/Library/Preferences/，则将在需要时重新创建首选项文件。

沙盒应用程序的首选项文件现在存储在中~/Library/Containers/，但是我不知道将其复制到另一台Mac是否会引起任何问题。

您可能还只是使用Migration Assistant。

或者，如果您走.osx路线，则可以比较的输出defaults read：

1. 跑 defaults read|awk 'length<200'>/tmp/a
2. 更改一些设置
3. 跑 defaults read|awk 'length<200'>/tmp/b;diff /tmp/[ab]

您可以运行sudo opensnoop或使用fseventer来查看从GUI更改首选项时修改了哪些文件。

在寻找了至少对我的问题有用的东西很多小时之后，我找到了一个名为Secrets的网站，该网站提供了许多常见的Mac OS“默认写入”命令。

无论如何，感谢Tony和drfrogsplatless给我的澄清和提示对我有所帮助。

这是我于2016年8月为Mac编写的部分完成的Apple Script，这里发布的“概念证明”有点强，但是您可以使用它：

（*在运行此脚本之前，您必须首先在系统偏好设置->安全和隐私->可访问性下授予Apple脚本紧身权限，并允许Apple脚本控制计算机。您可以通过运行脚本来开始尝试，直到失败为止。点，然后停止脚本，导航到“首选项”对话框，然后选中“脚本编辑器”旁边的框，然后可以返回并删除所有已拍摄的屏幕截图（以避免混淆重复的画面），然后重新启动脚本。

为什么需要这样做？因为某些偏好对话框一旦打开并“拍照”，就需要用鼠标单击“取消”按钮显式关闭。Apple Script不能做到这一点，除非它具有在该首选项内“控制您的计算机”的权限。*）
