name: config description: Overview of Trent's development environment and dotfiles setup. Use this skill first to understand the overall setup, then reference specific skills for details. CRITICAL - Trent uses fish shell, NOT zsh.

Trent's Development Environment

Quick Reference

Critical Facts

1. Fish is the primary shell - Always add aliases/functions to fish, never zsh
2. Chezmoi manages dotfiles - After editing configs, sync with chezmoi add or cadd
3. Tmux uses 1-based indexing - Panes and windows start at 1, not 0
4. Vi mode everywhere - Fish, tmux, and nvim all use vi keybindings

Machines

Common Paths

~/.config/fish/           # Fish shell config
~/.config/nvim/           # Neovim/LazyVim config
~/.config/tmuxinator/     # Tmux session templates
~/.config/aerospace/      # Window manager config
~/.local/share/chezmoi/   # Chezmoi source (dotfiles repo)
~/.claude/skills/         # Claude Code skills
~/git/                    # Git projects

Chezmoi Workflow

After editing any config file:

cadd                      # Re-add changed files to chezmoi
# or
chezmoi add ~/.config/... # Add specific file

Then commit in ~/.local/share/chezmoi/.

# SSH
mm                        # SSH to Mac Mini with port forwards

Tmuxinator Sessions

• config - Dotfiles editing (root: ~/.config)
• admin - System monitoring (btop + terminals)
• default - Template for project sessions

When Editing Configs

1. Use the appropriate skill for detailed help (fish, tmux, lazyvim, etc.)
2. Remember to sync to chezmoi after changes
3. Fish syntax differs from bash/zsh:
   • set -gx VAR value not export VAR=value
   • (command) not $(command)
   • Functions go in ~/.config/fish/functions/name.fish
