Think of it as the App Store but for your Mac’s terminal. All this means is that you can install packages (i.e., apps) using Homebrew.
Homebrew is what’s known as a package manager. I’m using the term “Homebrew apps” to refer to apps that are installed through Homebrew. Introductions out of the way, let’s get into it! What are Homebrew apps? I will cover a brief explanation of Homebrew at the start of this article and will try to post more Homebrew/Terminal articles in the future, but for now, I recommend passing over this post if you don’t feel ready to experiment with CLI apps. If you don’t know anything about CLI apps or Homebrew, then you might want to spend a bit more time researching CLI apps before installing the ones listed in this article. They’re simple, fun to use, are capable of things that some GUI apps aren’t, and are just great for tweaking and safely modifying your Mac. One of the habits I’ve kept from my brief stint as a programmer is that I love CLI apps, particularly Homebrew apps.
