Pull request overview
This PR modernizes bash support in the dotfiles by adding bash 5.x to the Brewfile and updating the gsync script's shebang to use #!/usr/bin/env bash. The changes enable modern bash features like mapfile (used in gsync on line 21) on macOS, which ships with the outdated bash 3.2.
- Add bash 5.x formula to Brewfile for modern bash features
- Update gsync shebang to respect PATH and use Homebrew-installed bash
- Add changeset documenting the patch update
