If this is a new computer, there are a couple tweaks I like to make to the System Preferences. Feel free to follow these, or to ignore them, depending on your personal preferences.

I use Homebrew to easily install at once all my Applications I use in my day to day. Please check install.sh file to see all the Packages. To install, just run this code:
./homebrew/install.sh./sublime-text/install.sh- Don’t display the annoying prompt when quitting iTerm
- Profiles > Default > Reuse previous session's directory
