Show HN: Clippy, the Office Assistant, on the macOS Desktop

git clone https://github.com/coignard/clippy
cd clippy
cargo xtask bundle
cp -R target/release/Clippy.app /Applications/

cargo xtask bundle prints where it put the app. With --universal it builds one that runs on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs, which needs both Rust targets:

rustup target add aarch64-apple-darwin x86_64-apple-darwin
cargo xtask bundle --universal
cargo test --workspace

Clippy itself and its plugins do not depend on macOS, so on other systems leave the shell out:

cargo test --workspace --exclude clippy-macos
