    I like to use atuin for this. Basically indispensable to me now.

  • dotfiles

    💠 Kinda cozy setup (by axelf4)

    I have written a small reference for this that has served me well: [1].

  • chezmoi

    Manage your dotfiles across multiple diverse machines, securely.

    https://chezmoi.io is a dotfile manager that is runs on multiple OSes (including Windows) while handling differences from machine to machine, allows you to store your secrets in your password manager (so you don't have to store secrets in your dotfile repo), and it even supports the NO_COLOR environment variable. Check it out! Disclaimer: I'm the author.

    There's a comprehensive list of the most popular dotfile managers at https://dotfiles.github.io/utilities/.

  • no_color

    Website data for no-color.org

    Some of us prefer tools which work best without them.

    Allow me to repeat my plea for CLI developers to take a little time to read https://no-color.org and ensure their programs honor things like NO_COLOR, npm config set color false, TERM=dumb, INSIDE_EMACS etc.

  • rcm

    rc file (dotfile) management

    I use https://github.com/thoughtbot/rcm, which works smoothly and includes support for host-specific files

  • mcfly

    Fly through your shell history. Great Scott!

    If you like searching your Bash history with fzf, you're gonna love McFly: https://github.com/cantino/mcfly

  • Home Manager using Nix

    Manage a user environment using Nix [maintainer=@rycee]

    I've used many different methods but none of them stuck until I started using https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager
