I downloaded Opencore-Validator from GitHub, but I can't figure out how to use it.

I tried opening a terminal and executing:

Code: 
% cd Config-Validator
 Config-Validator % ls
LICENSE            README.md        Sources            Technical background.md
Config-Validator % cd Sources/Resources
 Sources/Resources % ls
AppIcon.icns        AppSettings.plist    Hero.aiff        MainMenu.nib        ocvalidate        script
Sources/Resources % ./script

******************************************************
Config Validator OpenCore 0.7.6
Drag config.plist file to verify it
******************************************************
Sources/Resources % script ~Desktop/EFI-OC-077-Boot/EFI/OC/config.plist
Script started, output file is ~/Desktop/EFI-OC-077-Boot/EFI/OC/config.plist

But now the config.plist has been modified (?) to a format that ProperTree can't read, nor TextEdit etc.

How is one supposed to use this tool? Nothing noted on GitHub like a README with directions?

It appears you use the wrong version of that tool, it says 0.7.6 you try to verify a 0.7.7. I always use the tool built by the OC team the ocvalidate. It is in the /Utilities/ocvalidate directory of your downloaded OC. Simply open Terminal drag and drop the ocvalidate to it then the config.plist to be validated and it will tell you the issue(s) if any it finds.

Code: 
MacUser2525:~$ /Volumes/Sea_To_Do/Downloads/OpenCore-0.7.7-RELEASE/Utilities/ocvalidate/ocvalidate /Volumes/Sea_To_Do/Programs/Hackintosh/New_Installs/iMac_19\,1_9600k/EFI_OC77_iMac19\,1_Mine_mausi/OC/config.plist

Completed validating /Volumes/Sea_To_Do/Programs/Hackintosh/New_Installs/iMac_19,1_9600k/EFI_OC77_iMac19,1_Mine_mausi/OC/config.plist in 1 ms. No issues found.

Edit: oops beaten to it.

Thanks. I had expected the README.md to explain, or that downloading the sources would allow me to build it. None of which was proper.

Solution: download the latest version with the installer: .dmg file type and copy to Applications, then use System Peferences -> Security to open.
 
@tecemac
Is it config-validator from chris1111? I yes, there is a video at the bottom of the page. I don’t use it but it’s strange that file format has changed without warning.
Anyway, the tool must be for the same OpenCore version. In the pic I see Config Validator OpenCore 0.7.6 but you are checking the 0.7.7 config.

EDIT: sorry my post was posted just after your last 2 posts.
 
So I'm a little confused!, Config Validator says there are no issues with my EFI but it will still freeze and reboot. Is it a BIOS issue?.

This means that config.plist is well built according to the rules. But the kernel panic can happen by other things. Your hardware is different than mine. Previous OpenCore was booting good?

Yes indeed!, this one boots perfectly, even got rid of the black screen of nothing before login. I also tried MacPro7,1 SMBIOS and compared to iMacPro1,1, OP here.

looks like you need to check with the sample.plist and make the needed adjustments

I have!, see #35, but it freezes and reboots a minute after getting to desktop. the errors shown in #37 are to do with the new values that have been added to the 0.7.7 sample.plist.
