    New OS X Computer Setup

Below are the programs I install, the Preferences I change, and the configurations I tweak after doing a fresh install of macOS.
Homebrew / Cask

http://brew.sh/
$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
$ brew tap caskroom/cask
$ brew tap caskroom/versions
$ brew tap caskroom/fonts
$ brew tap tldr-pages/tldr
Rearrage PATHs

This is so that Homebrew-installed tools load instead of built-in ones. git, emacs, etc.
$ sudo vi /etc/paths
Put /usr/local/bin above /usr/bin in the list.
Save file and restart terminal.
