The terminal is where most of us live. Share your setup - shell, prompt, tools, colour scheme, whatever you have tuned.

Mine:

• Shell: fish (tried zsh for years, fish's autosuggestions and syntax highlighting out of the box won me over)
  
• Terminal emulator: Alacritty - GPU accelerated, fast, config in TOML
  
• Prompt: Starship - shows git branch, exit codes, language versions, fast enough to not notice the overhead
  
• Editor: Neovim with lazy.nvim - took a weekend to configure properly but I haven't touched VSCode since
  
• Multiplexer: tmux with a minimal status bar, prefix remapped to Ctrl-A
  
• Colour scheme: Catppuccin Mocha everywhere I can apply it
  

Dotfiles repo is the best gift you can give your future self when setting up a new machine. If yours are on GitHub, drop the link.

Terminal setup update after switching to Ghostty as my emulator:

Ghostty is fast. I didn't think terminal emulator speed was a real concern until I used one that genuinely had zero rendering lag. GPU-accelerated, native on both Mac and Linux. The config is a simple text file (no TOML, no YAML, just key = value) which I appreciate.

New tools added to my setup:

• atuin - replaces shell history. Syncs across machines, full-text search, stores context (directory, exit code, duration). Ctrl+R now shows the full command with context not just the text.
  
• yazi - terminal file manager written in Rust. Fast, previews images in the terminal (if your emulator supports it), vim keybindings. Has mostly replaced ranger for me.
  

Dotfiles are at a point where I'm happy with them - adding a new tool just means adding a stow symlink and a line in the install script. No more manual dotfile migrations.
