Great post! Not a fan of Hyper, but very good tips, advices and tools!
Not everyone is a fan of Hyper, and that's ok! A lot of Electron apps suffer without having great processing power in your machine. The same can be said for VS Code's performance at times. All in all, I love that it's built by Zeit. Their design language, making the tool accessible to a ton of platforms, and the fact I can config the tool using JavaScript makes it appealing to me personally.
I’m currently using iTerm2 and was actually considering trying Hyper. What did you dislike about it?
Performance. I don't have a very powerful machine and sometimes and it feels too slow -- I type and had to wait to see my input. I found issues like mine in the repo, and with iTerm2 I don't face this problem.
Hmm that's a valid concern and something that I heard multiple times with Hyper. Will have to look into it a bit more myself. Thanks for the reply
First of all, Awesome guide. Thank you very much for such effort.
I followed it to the dot, except for Hyper. I use Hyper in Windows machines, but for Mac I prefer instead iTerm2 (iterm2.com/). I find its performance better than Hyper and very customizable (I'm quite old school and I like the Quake-like terminal you can achieve with it: sharmaprakash.com.np/guake-like-dr...)
You can install it with Homebrew too:
brew cask install iterm2If you haven't try it I would definitely recommend you to give it a go :D
Have an awesome day.

Good stuff in here!
Amazing reading! this is an awesome guide!
I´m translating this post to Spanish as my main goal for 2021 is to bring the latest development guides, tricks and documentation for my spanish languaje coding people, I´m planning to put a link to your original post and your credits of course.
Hope to read new posts from you!
Best regards!
Thank you for this helpful guide! Currently setting up my brand new mac mini. I've done this all before, year ago, including SSH, but this time, when I tried to generate my SSH key (ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "myemailadress@server[dot]com") I got put into a dquote> REPL, which I have never seen before. I have no idea what to do now. A google search didn't turn up anything for me.

figured it out. copying and pasting the command from this page was the problem: for some reason, the double quote character is not the same as if you actually type it on the keyboard.
Hey Brendan. Glad you figured it out. I did copy and paste the command referenced in your first comment and it worked for me! Sorry you had some difficulties. If you ever find yourself inside a place in the terminal you didn't wish to end up CTRL + C is a good first step to get out. Hope this helps.
Great article! Haven’t tried Hyper yet but will take a look at it.
Great guide, but one change maybe for people still coming here:
Instead of installing node via homebrew, install
nvmvia homebrew, and install your desired versions from there.This is amazing. Thank you!!!
Well, I just finished my setup by your Tutorial a minute ago. Let's see how good everything works. :D
Let me know how it went Dominik!
Excellent. Thanks for all the content has helped me a lot.
moved from windows to macOS recently and found this post! Only just finished the tutorial and setting things up. So far so good and love your suggestions! thank you!
Glad it helped Nick!
Thanks you! I just set up my first Mac ever, looks like a good start!
It’s brew cask install ‘app’
Thanks cheddarKast! I updated the command on the article.
Introduced me to a few useful looking tools/tips in this article. Seeing how other developers work is real helpful. Thanks for sharing 👌
Thanks for sharing. Checked Hyper based on your article but I see it lacks several features available out-of-the-box in iTerm2. Have you tried iTerm2? Are there aspects of Hyper you like more?
Hey Vivek, I replied to Ibrahim's question with some of my opinions on Hyper if you want to check it out above. Hope it helps answer your questions. If not, let me know.
Hi Frankie
Is Homebrew useful? Is it true that any programs or software that are installed through Homebrew could be uninstall immediately if Homebrew is uninstalled?
Hey Annabel! Homebrew is incredibly useful, imo. Formulas (programs) that are installed with Homebrew will be uninstalled when you uninstall Homebrew itself. I encourage you to check out their docs (link: docs.brew.sh) it will answer more of your questions regarding Homebrew.
Very cool, thanks!
