Terminal Setup

With the right setup, you can manage your files directly from the terminal instead of having to use separate GUI apps. Below are my recommended packages for a lightweight, effective terminal setup with an ideal Neovim/Vim experience. For Neovim/Vim setups, also see Editor Setup.

Alacritty Emulator

Fast and performant terminal emulator

Tmux Multiplexer

Efficient tab, split, and session manager

Fish Shell

Fast, user-friendly shell with syntax highlighting and fuzzy autocompletion (not POSIX compliant)

If you use Neovim/Vim:

Vim plugin for full fish file support and highlighting (which treesitter does not provide)
