Enable sudo without a password on MacOS

I upgraded macOS to the next major version and I had to search for how to re-enable password-less sudo’ing again (a real déjà vu, doing this every update,... so finally wrote it down where I find it :O)

edit /etc/sudoers

sudo visudo

Then find the admin group permission section:

%admin ALL = (ALL) ALL

Change to add NOPASSWD:

%admin ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

To safe in visudo -> :wq
