+**macOS** is a Unix, and not built on Linux.
+
+I think most of us realize that macOS isn't a Linux OS, but what that also means is that instead of shipping with the GNU flavor of command line tools, it ships with the FreeBSD flavor. As such, writing shell scripts which can work across both platforms can sometimes be challenging.
+
+## Homebrew
+
+[Homebrew](https://brew.sh) can be used to install the GNU versions of tools onto your Mac, but they are all prefixed with "g" by default.
+
+> All commands have been installed with the prefix "g". If you need to use these commands with their normal names, you can add a "gnubin" directory to your PATH from your bashrc.
