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

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

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 (trent-fish, trent-tmux, trent-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
