Replace Apple's bundled BSD* tools with the GNU ones

$ brew install findutils ack grep bash gcc (...)!

they are far more powerful

(*) Only some of them are really BSD, but Apple usually ships dinosaur-aged GNU software with their OS.

Install some other cool softwarebrew install wget colordiff rmtrash unrar (...)

● wget: downloads files from the internets● unrar: unpacks files from the internets● colordiff: get colorful differences between files● rmtrash: send files to OSX trash instead of deleting them

alias diff=colordiffalias find=gfindalias rm=rmtrash

...and make them your defaults

Replace BASH with a modern shell

ZSH

fish

I choose ZSH, what do I get?

● colors, rainbows and unicorns● unified history between tabs● tab tab tab! out of the box

autocompletions for almost everything

● keyboard navigable completion lists● powerful globbing and expansions● syntax highlighting● plays well with floating point

calculations● (many more! STFW!)

ZSH is essentially an enhanced experience of everything you already know from BASH

$ brew install zsh

Don't fall into the configuration madnessUse an existing community-maintained package of zsh configurations:

● oh-my-zsh● zsh-lovers● zsh-users

Keep your settings under version controllike all the other cool kids around
