Custom recipe to get macOS 10.12 Sierra running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment.

This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.

I was encouraged to fork this and modify it to my heart's content to match my own needs. Thanks to @kevinelliott

Note: I manage my dotfiles and vimrc with Homeshick. My environment is hyper customized and is not for everyone's taste.
