The setup behind every guide.
Four things were used to write and test the series. You don't need the same laptop: the commands work on any Unix-based system.

Tools used
01Hardware
MacBook Pro 2014
Every guide was written and tested on a 2014 MacBook Pro. It's old, which is the point: none of these tools need much power.
02Terminal
iTerm2
An open-source replacement for Apple's Terminal app. It adds split panes, a hotkey window and search, which makes spending a whole day in one window much easier.
$ brew install --cask iterm2
03Shell
Oh My Zsh
A community-driven framework for managing your Zsh configuration. It comes with hundreds of plugins and themes, plus helpers that make moving around the terminal quicker.
$ sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
04Package manager
Homebrew
Installs, updates and removes software on macOS. Most guides in the series start with a brew install, so set this up first.
$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Set up? Start with email at 6am.
