Do not magically set `--no-graphics` when `--vnc` is passed (#732) 
From a discussion in #728 it appeared that having both `--graphics` and `--no-graphics` is a bit confusing.

`--graphics` was introduced in #248 to support having both VNC and UI for debugging Packer plugin in cirruslabs/packer-plugin-tart#21. This is because `--vnc` flag has a side effect of hiding UI which I think was wrong in retrospective. One can run `tart run --vnc --no-graphics`. In most of the cases this is automated via Alfred or something like that.

Now we have so many arguments that IMO it's worth to remove `--graphics` for overall consistency in arguments: everything is enabled by default and can be disabled via `--no-*` flags.

README.md

Tart is a virtualization toolset to build, run and manage macOS and Linux virtual machines (VMs) on Apple Silicon. Built by CI engineers for your automation needs. Here are some highlights of Tart:

  • Tart uses Apple's own Virtualization.Framework for near-native performance.
  • Push/Pull virtual machines from any OCI-compatible container registry.
  • Use Tart Packer Plugin to automate VM creation.
  • Easily integrates with any CI system.

Tart powers Cirrus Runners service — a drop-in replacement for the standard GitHub-hosted runners, offering 2-3 times better performance for a fraction of the price.

Many companies are using Tart in their internal setups. Here are a few of them:

Note: If your company or project is using Tart please consider adding yourself to the list above.

Usage

Try running a Tart VM on your Apple Silicon device running macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later (will download a 25 GB image):

brew install cirruslabs/cli/tart
tart clone ghcr.io/cirruslabs/macos-sonoma-base:latest sonoma-base
tart run sonoma-base
