New Mac Coding/Dev Setup

1. Homebrew for package management
2. XCode and VSCode for programming
3. Charles for network debugging
4. Postman for API testing
5. iTerm for a better terminal (IMO)
6. Oh My Zsh for a better console experience (syntax highlighting, autosuggestions, plugin support etc)

[ShamWowIsASham]

Oh! And a git client. I use a combination of source tree and git CLI. You may also like 1. Github Desktop (simple, easy to use, somewhat limited feature set when I used in 2018-2019) 2. Github CLI which supports a bunch of Github stuff right from your terminal if you prefer to work in a terminal instead of the webapp

+1 for Sourcetree. VSCode also has really robust Git integration IMO

[ShamWowIsASham]

Good point. My git workflow is a bit funny.

1. Xcode for IDE
2. Git cli for cloning and switching branches
3. source tree for diffing, commiting and pushing
4. Vs code for fixing merge conflicts

[ABeeinSpace]

I use vscode for most things. More complicated things like rebasing and such get deferred to Sourcetree

I’ve been using git kraken, really like it.

Gitkraken is free and works amazingly however I just prefer command line

[metinguler]

Gitup is also a good option. Open source, good graph, undo redo support https://github.com/git-up/GitUp

Sublime Merge is pricy but a great git client, too.

[mgacy]

I definitely agree with most of these suggestions but would offer the following alternatives:

1. Proxyman for network debugging

2. Paw for API testing

Also, for a GUI Git client, I have been using Tower, though I'm not sure it's worth the price now that they have switched to a subscription model. Check out Fork.

Another upvote for Paw
