This is how I'd set up a brand new macbook, I'll try to note what's required and what's optional
Required(ish):
Show hidden files (dotfiles) - http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/how-show-hidden-files-in-mac-os-x-finder-funter-macos-sierra-3520878/
Install homebrew - https://brew.sh/
Install non-apple git - $ brew install git
Check to make sure you have ruby installed (ruby -v) and then run `gem install bundler` -> if you choose to install RVM, do that first
Install nvm WITH HOMEBREW - http://dev.topheman.com/install-nvm-with-homebrew-to-use-multiple-versions-of-node-and-iojs-easily/
Optional:
Set up your dotfiles, here are mine with a method for version control - https://github.com/bcruddy/dotfile-manager
Install RVM http://usabilityetc.com/articles/ruby-on-mac-os-x-with-rvm/
