Core dependencies

• Fish with Starship
• Ghostty
• tmux
• Neovim with AstroNvim

Fish/Zsh

My personal configurations is different from my work one.

• For Fish, I use a shared config.fish file which imports a config.local.fish file if present.
• For Zsh, I use ~/.zshenv which is imported automatically by Zsh.

The local configuration is not tracked in this repo and needs to be created manually.

Git

My personal and work configurations are slightly different. I define a common .gitconfig_base which I can then import in .gitconfig files. The .gitconfig is not tracked in this repo and needs to be created manually. My personal git configuration is in git/.gitconfig_personal.

[include]
  path = ~/.gitconfig_base
