Installing ajv

1. Install npm:

   brew install npm
   

2. Install ajv-cli:

   npm install -g ajv-cli
   

Prevent creation of .DS_Store files on network shares

To stop macOS from automatically creating .DS_Store files on network drives, run the following commands in Terminal.

1. Apply the setting:

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -boolean true

2 Check if it worked:

defaults read com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores

(Should return “true” or “1”)
