How to run a script on login

Perhaps the same question as Run Script on Startup - Apple Community

I have got a script I want to run to ensure I fetch latest version of a folder from our servers. Each morning I just open a Terminal, and then run it manually. But.

I want to just have less fuss and relying on my brain, open it every time I login so I can see that it's run and I don't forget. No I don't want a cron thing to run at a set time. I went into Users and Groups, clicked on my user and I expected to see a "Startup items" button someplace, but that seems to have moved in Monterey?

In System Preferences->Users & Groups, click Login Items and add your script.

Don't get your hopes high.

I am on my first day of using Ventura, and System Preferences (now System Settings) has been completely overhauled, but (for now, at least) not easier or clearer than before.

Plenty of other things have been shuffled around.

I finally spotted it. The bewildering user interface layouts with loads of tiny or low contrast buttons on the OS seem to always cost me time when I'm most in a hurry.

Looking forward to grabbing Ventura to see if these get easier to see.
