Key Takeaways
- The shell stack is fish (default) + zsh (fallback), both wired to the same aliases and the same
~/.cheatsheet.txt greeting.
- Modern CLI tools shadow the classics:
ls→lsd, cat→bat, find→fd, grep→rg, cd→z.
- WezTerm uses a tmux-style leader (
⌃A) for workspaces, plus Cmd-based tab/pane navigation — see wiki/dotfiles/linux-terminal-ricing for the philosophy.
- Type
cheat or help to reprint this cheatsheet anywhere.
