### Files

These are the files / directories that are created and/or modified with this
install:

```sh
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/
```

### How to Install Manually

It's very easy to start the installer:

```sh
xcode-select --install
```

The trick is to also have a mechanism to know when it has finished:

```sh
while ! test -x /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/git ||
    ! test -x /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make; do
    sleep 0.25
done

echo "Command Line Tools Installed"
```
