Installation notes for [node-gyp on] macOS Catalina

https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/blob/master/macOS_Catalina.md

I was confronted with this error at least once a month for several months (once again yesterday) when trying to npm install a freshly checked out Node.js project:

gyp: No Xcode or CLT version detected!

So I guess I should share the link to the official tutorial that helped me fix the issue, every time. I still don't know why this error comes back regularly, but at least now I know how to fix it pretty fast. 👍

And I know I'm not alone, with more than 40.000 results in Google for the error message… 🤷‍♂️

   Just found it in one of my own projects, where I'm the only contributor… 😅

   If Puppeteer fills your hard drive with many copies of Chromium, you can

   • either use puppeteer-core instead
   • or add puppeteer_skip_chromium_download=true to your .npmrc and also set puppeteer_executable_path with Chrome path

   You may have this issue with Node 16.5.1 on #Netlify: This setting is no longer used. npm stores temporary files in a special location in the cache…

   Quick fix: put 16.5.0 in an .nvmrc file

   Had once again to reinstall node-gyp, even if I'm on Big Sur, this must be a running joke… 🤷‍♂️

5. How I build my SVG sprites

   I'm using an SVG sprite on this site to make sure I don't repeat SVG code for icons that are used multiple times, and I inline it so the rendering doesn't depend on another resource loading. Here's how I build this sprite from individual SVG icons.
