While you're at it, `brew install coreutils`. The coreutils that ship with macOS lack a lot of features available on Linux. If you use bash, I recommend upgrading it, too, since Apple ships a 16 year old build (iirc due to legal issues associated with GPLv3) `brew install bash`

They're shipping zsh now.

macOS has shipped Zsh for a long time. The difference is that now (since Catalina), it’s the default shell.
