There's likely a way to get root without having to read the password each time, this is just what I managed to hack together. If anyone has any ideas/suggestions I would be happy to fix this ASAP!

Allow the script to run under sudo without a password.

Looks like the author already addressed this - the README now has instructions on configuring /etc/sudoers to run the script without requiring the user’s password. See https://github.com/bradleymackey/turbo-boost-disable/issues/... although https://github.com/bradleymackey/turbo-boost-disable/issues/... points out another security hole with that approach.

You could do this as a launchd service, which will run as root and will happen automatically with startup. No sudo nor brew required.

See /Library/LaunchDaemons and launchctl.
