After many years on a Dell XPS m1330, I decided to buy my first Mac and write this Mac OS X setup to help others dev like some other devs 1 2 =)
The document lists all the app I'm using or found interesting, and it assumes you are new to Mac. The environment will be not set up for a specific language and steps below were tested on OS X El Captain.
As you read and followed those steps, feel free to send me any feedback or comments you may have on Twitter!

- Cleaning the dock
- Show File Name Extensions in Mac OS X
- Show Hidden Files in Mac OS X
- Mac keyboard shortcuts](http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1343)
Since OS X 10.9 Mavericks, it's possible to install the Xcode Command Line Tools directly from the command line with :
$ xcode-select --installNo need to go through the download page and the survey as describe here.
Homebrew is the missing package manager for OS X. It's some kind of ports for Mac. As a developer, you should install it by flowing : http://brew.sh/
Open a new terminal tab with Cmd+T (you should also close the old one), then run the following command to make sure everything works:
$ brew doctorOh My Zsh ZSH is a pretty powerful shell for *nix systems. As a developer, it just changed my life. I don't even know how I lived before using it. No, really, install it NOW: https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh
Monolingual is a program for removing unnecessary language resources from OS X, in order to reclaim several hundred megabytes of disk space. I save ~780 Mo B)
$ brew cask install monolingualGoogle Chrome, no need to present it.
