Macos provided an option to move windows left/right. See the answer from @afonsoduarte
Not built in, but you can install 3rd party software.

macOS Catalina (10.15) now has commands to:
- tile windows left and right of screen (this enters fullscreen mode with 2 app side by side)
- enter fullscreen mode
- move windows to left and right side of screen
- zoom (maximise window)
You can select them by hovering the green full-screen button in the upper-left corner of a window (press the Option key for more options).
To create shortcuts for these commands you can do the following:
- go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts
- select App Shortcuts
- press the + sign to create a new shortcut
- in Menu Title enter the title of the option as it appears when hover the green full-screen button, for example: Move Window to Left Side of Screen
- pick a keyboard shortcut, for example: ⌃⌘←
