I am curious to ask others here, are there other low-config alternative tools like Fish that, looking back, now seem like a no brainer? Ghostty is a recent example, Helix seems like another. I’d love to know about other tools people are using that have improved or simplified their lives.
imho starship is really just eye candy for the shell; it's not necessarily an actually improved shell prompt if you're on a "modern" shell like fish (a shell for the '90s!) or if you've put effort into customizing your shell experience with any of the other shells.
Chezmoi was a complete workflow changer for me. https://www.chezmoi.io/
Let's me manage/synchronize my configs between systems. It has built in variables and scripting support so you can ignore sections of files or specific sections of files on certain systems, write specific configs for specific systems based on hostname or OS.
It's a bit of work to get an understanding of, but incredibly powerful once you do.
Whenever I setup a new system now, I install chezmoi, clone my comfig repo and then initialize it and it uses the chezmoi scripts to automatically installs all my programs and copies in the needed config files.
