Setup new Mac from scratch

Install latest Xcode

The download/install takes a while so start it first. When it finishes downloading you will still need to run it to complete installation.

iTerm2

Really the nicest choice for a terminal on OSX right now.

Homebrew

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Note that Xcode is a pre-req for Homebrew

Install recent ZSH via Homebrew

brew install zsh
sudo vim /etc/shells

The resulting /etc/shells file should look like this:

/bin/bash
/bin/csh
/bin/sh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/zsh
/usr/local/bin/zsh

Install oh-my-zsh

curl -L http://install.ohmyz.sh | sh

restart iTerm2

Setup Quake-like terminal window for iTerm2

and make iTerm2 launch without opening any window

Thanks for the guide! I want to share a thing though, after step 'Install recent ZSH via Homebrew' i got this in my /etc/shells:

➜  ~  cat /etc/shells
# List of acceptable shells for chpass(1).
# Ftpd will not allow users to connect who are not using
# one of these shells.

/bin/bash
/bin/csh
/bin/ksh
/bin/sh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/zsh
