some great suggestions here! I'll just list ones not seen already:

fish shell - out of box you already get what you have to spend more time configuring w oh my zsh
homebrew - package manager for MacOS
pypyr - for automating & running and consolidating ad hoc scripts. (I might be biased on this one, I wrote it 😂)
GitHub Actions - you mention GitHub already, but special mention to the relatively new GitHub Actions for the awesome free CI/CD capabilities. Oh, also GitHub Pages!
hugo - static web-site generation
zopfli compression - great for PNG compression. Although, that's prob just about been supplanted by Brotli today.
arch linux

[edit:] oh, and curl, definitely
