Nix Home Manager Option Search
Many command line programs keep their configurations somewhere under $HOME. These are often called "dotfiles".
If you ever use more than one machine, likely you'll want the same configuration available on all those machines.. so you'll want some way to copy them to a new machine.
Some dotfile managers are quite simple, like dotbot. https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot
Home Manager from the Nix community is a bit more sophisticated. It allows for writing configurations in the Nix language, which is nice if you know/like Nix. (Nix is a powerful/expressive package manager. Nix is to apt-get what vim is to notepad).

Managing my dot files: Git bare or Stow ?
I started using DotBot a couple of years ago and love it. I store my git repo at ~/.dotfiles, and DotBot handles the symlinking and everything

Dotfiles Management
Dotbot (https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot) has worked extremely well for me. It’s simple to setup, has minimal dependencies, and it is also easy to run arbitrary commands if I want to get tricky with things. I would highly recommend it.

What's your vertical / horizontal split keys?
| for vertical split, - for horizontal split: easy to remember. I have lots of things in my config file, so I don't have an issue with a bit more customization. Installing my .tmux.conf is easy because I use the dotbot dotfile manager.

Anyone else using git submodules to manage your plugins?
I use dotbot to manage my dotfiles, which is good for anything I need to install prior to installing plugins (I use vim-plug).

Managing your Dotfiles with Dotter (Tutorial)
I'm glad you asked! There are plenty of dotfiles managers out there, like chezmoi, Dotbot, or yadm (you can see a list here and a comparison table (from chezmoi, thus biased) here. But for this tutorial (and my dotfiles), I chose dotter.

- Zinit suddenly missing from Github?
-
github repo is missing
I just searched github for the latest fork, and it looks like the most recent fork is https://github.com/ryanstreur/zinit. I went ahead and forked it just in case and I have a version locally that I pulled down at Oct 12 17:12 PST. All zinit forks are showing as being forked from https://github.com/akatrevorjay/zplugin since https://github.com/zdharma/zinit is gone.

New to Mac entirely, and somewhat to DevOps. Any suggestions on getting started moving from primarily Windows/Linux? Given a MacBook Pro 2019 16"
I personally prefer zinit to oh my zsh. Lets you use all the oh my zsh plugins without downloading everything (I think that's how it still works?), lets you manage outside plugins in the same way, and is really fast to boot.
