Install a Better Terminal Emulator, Code Editor and Font Set

The three I’ve chosen below are the ones I use the most, but you may prefer alternate or additional ones depending on your needs. For example, you may wish to install additional Linux management tools or integrated development environment (IDE) software.
iTerm is a feature-rich and fully customizable terminal emulator that replaces the limited one that comes with macOS (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app). You can download the iTerm app from https://www.iterm2.com. Next, you should move the downloaded iTerm2 app to your /Applications folder and create a link to it on your dock for easy access.
Visual Studio Code is arguably the best text and code editor for Linux administration and development. In addition to being fully customizable, Visual Studio Code boasts many different features and troubleshooting tools that make it equally attractive to Linux administrators and developers. You can download the Visual Studio Code app from https://code.visualstudio.com. Next, you should move the downloaded app to your /Applications folder and create a link to it on your dock for easy access.
Nerd Fonts provides a font set that is better suited toward Linux administrators and developers compared to the default font set provided by macOS. You can use Nerd Fonts in any app that allows you to customize the font set, as well as within macOS itself. You can install Nerd Fonts using the following brew commands:

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts

brew cask install font-hack-nerd-font
