macOS 10.13 High Sierra Mostly-Automated Setup

An easy to refer to document for regularly setting up macOS 10.13 High Siera, in flavor of my previous macOS/OSX setup gists:

macOS 10.12 Sierra - https://gist.github.com/kevinelliott/7a152c556a83b322e0a8cd2df128235c
Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan - https://gist.github.com/kevinelliott/e12aa642a8388baf2499
Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite - https://gist.github.com/kevinelliott/0726211d17020a6abc1f

I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. I generally reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between releases.
