Outline
I try to write how to configure the development environment from very first time on Mac. this blog is a series. if you want to know other development environment, see other blog posts.
Although iTerm works quite nicely out of the box, there are a few unix shell-specific tweaks you can implement that help to take advantage of some of the many nice features. In what follows, I describe and give some examples of a few customizations. True Color enabled in iTerm2, Zsh, and Vim. Also check the Gruvbox notes on true color; Assuming you're using Oh-My-Zsh above, you can replace the default theme in.zshrc env ZSHTHEME with this Gruvbox colored one, or just tweak the colors of the full theme list. This really only affects the prompt, not the terminal colors, which are. Install zsh using Homebrew. If you haven't installed homebrew yet, install it by pasting the below.
in here, I'll introduce how to configure iTerm and zsh on Mac.
