"right" click the app and select "Open" creates the same exception without the need to open settings. There's also an equivalent terminal command for the exception I can't remember.

If either of those aren't satisfying, you can always drop the check entirely which I can't personally recommend.

I don't think you can? Unless I am missing something?

You can add Terminal to "developer tools" so you can launch stuff from the shell without Gatekeeper interfering, but is there really a way to disable the gatekeeper warning for downloaded apps altogether?

How does that work? I use iTerm so how would I add it to "developer tools"?

Yes you can turn of gatekeeper entirely just by running this in the Terminal.

  sudo spctl --master-disable

This not how things work anymore.

The user gets a warning initially saying that the download is "damaged".
