I just offered to help a fellow caver set up a Therion ecosystem on their computer.

Only I’m a Windows user, and I just found out they’re on Mac.

I wouldn’t even know how to turn on a Mac.

So I’m looking for any tips and advice to help ease the process.  Here is what looks like software that might be equivalent to what we’re using on Windows:

1. First up Git  Git - Downloading for macOS.  Any pointers on whether to go with Homebrew, MacPorts or XCode?  We are likely to be fans of git-gui and gitk.
2. I find icon overlays a necessary feature to provide general situational awareness.  Such as TortoiseGit – Windows Shell Interface to Git, but that is Windows only.  SnailGit: Git for Finder on the Mac App Store looks like it is similar.  Anything else the comes with icon overlays? Free?
3. Text Editors that have Therion syntax stylers.  contrib:externaleditors [Therion wiki] suggests BBEdit and Brackets with stylers by Xavier Robert.  Which of these is best Xavier?  Other options?
4. Therion.  I assume ladislavb/homebrew-therion is the latest, superseding tbe:wiki1 [Therion wiki] and masox [Therion wiki]
5. Xpdf.  XpdfReader
6. Is anyone running TopoDroid in an Android emulator on mac?

Feedback and suggestions welcome.

Thanks
