Ask HN: Can I see your cheatsheet?
Set a huuuuuuuge shell history https://github.com/craigjperry2/dotfiles/blob/aa77ddcbde63bf... then fzf ctrl+r bindings mean you can recall anything right where you need it.
If you’re going to do this then have an escape hatch for commands you don’t want memorised https://github.com/craigjperry2/dotfiles/blob/aa77ddcbde63bf...

Command Line Tools for Productive Programmers
The integration is pretty decent in vim, i have it configured to open a window overlay on n (requires neovim) https://github.com/craigjperry2/dotfiles/blob/main/dotfiles/...
That said, i don't find myself using that as much. Usually i'm in the shell when i invoke nnn - i might open a file in vim from nnn though.
In vim, i typically lean on fzf.vim more often - usually i know something about the next file i want to open so it just feels more direct.

Atuin – Magical Shell History
Agreed, I use this in conjunction with Starship [1], both initialized specifically for Fish in the config. I love this shell so much.

Z – Jump Around
It seems like the Rust community is quite happy to support alternative shells. I’ve seen couple of projects, now, that support way more esoteric shells than I would expect, like ’xonsh’. Starship (https://starship.rs/) immediately comes to mind.

[MacOS] Setting up zsh in MacOS, any hints, dos/don'ts, advice, or guides?
Until now I have been using bash on Windows with Starship as the prompt. The only reason I went with Starship, is that it was easy to setup and at the time I did not have much free time to devout to the shell/prompt configuration.

I'm staying on BitstromWera Nerd Font. Works great with Starship.

Organizing Multiple Git Identities
I use conditional includes for this, but I also add a single letter describing which Git identity I'm currently using to my PS1 so that it appears before $ in my shell prompt. This prevents me from committing code with the wrong identity, in case I'm using a git checkout that's anywhere not covered by the conditional include rules.
I use Starship (https://starship.rs) to manage my prompt, and wrote a short script that only runs if I'm somewhere in a git repo, and if so finds my Git user's email and looks up the corresponding letter in an associative array declared in my ~/.config/starship-zsh/.zshenv:
git_email=$(git config --get user.email | perl -pe 'chomp if eof')
