Some ruby tools for working with a Hackintosh, which also might be (partially) useful an a regular Mac.

HackMac is a set of Ruby tools specifically designed for managing and customizing Hackintosh configurations. While primarily intended for users with Hackintosh setups, it may also be useful for ordinary Mac users who want to leverage its features for monitoring system performance using gfxmon.

• efi is a tool to work with OpenCore EFI partitions, that is upgrading OpenCore and Kexts and commiting to its git repository.
• usb can be used to create a bootable USB containing a MacOs release and uses an EFI partition cloned from a git repository.
• gfxmon dispays performance statistics for your AMD GPU in the terminal, that is temperature, clock rate, fan rotations, memory and power usage as provided by MacOS, see the screenshot:

You can use rubygems to fetch the gem and install it for you:

# gem install hackmac

You can also put this line into your Gemfile

gem 'hackmac'

First start efi without arguments this will display the available commands, but also initializes a default configuration file in ~/.config/hackmac/hackmac.yml to get you started. If you want work with multiple configuration files you can change the path by setting

$ export HACKMAC_CONFIG=~/config/hackmac/other.yml

in your shell.
