New to Mac entirely, and somewhat to DevOps. Any suggestions on getting started moving from primarily Windows/Linux? Given a MacBook Pro 2019 16"

• ohmyzsh

  🙃 A delightful community-driven (with 2,300+ contributors) framework for managing your zsh configuration. Includes 300+ optional plugins (rails, git, macOS, hub, docker, homebrew, node, php, python, etc), 140+ themes to spice up your morning, and an auto-update tool so that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.

  

putting together a basic list for new starter that already has homebrew installed but isn’t used to Mac’s.

  Extendable version manager with support for Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, Erlang & more
