iTerm2

The very first thing I install on a brand new Mac is iTerm2. I use it instead of the built-in Terminal app.

You can still use MacOS’s Terminal if you want but I recommend using iTerm. It adds a lot of useful features to the basic Terminal app (Split Pane is one of my favourites). Unlike Terminal, iTerm is constantly updated and improved.
