Enable Touch ID for sudo

Thanks to this awesome Six Colors post: Quick Tip: Enable Touch ID for sudo

The short of it:

In your terminal go to cd /etc/pam.d/.
Now open the sudo file with your favorite command-line/GUI text editor.
- Note that if you open it via the command-line, you’ll need to use sudo itself to do so, since the file is (understandably) protected.
With the sudo file open, add the following command below below the first line. auth sufficient pam_tid.so

This list has been updated for Big Sur (and later). Since I don't use these versions, this guide might still need further improvements. For older macOS versions, please see this older revision.

Open in Sublime Text

Open Automator
Quick Action
Set “Service receives selected” to files or folders in any application
Add a Run Shell Script action
Set the script action to /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl -n "$@"
Set “Pass input” to as arguments

Open in Visual Studio Code

Open Automator
Create a new document
Select Quick Action
Set “Service receives selected” to files or folders in any application
Add a Run Shell Script action
- your default shell should already be selected, otherwise use /bin/zsh for macOS 10.15 (”Catalina”) or later
- older versions of macOS use /bin/bash
if you're using something else, you probably know what to do 😉
