System Configuration

When making system configuration changes:

  1. Should this go in dotfiles? Persist across machines → dotfiles, not direct system changes

  2. Where in dotfiles? | Config Type | Location | |-------------|----------| | Shell | fish/ | | Git | git/ | | Editor | zed/, nvim/, vim/ | | Homebrew | Brewfile | | npm globals | npm/global-packages.txt | | macOS settings | sync script (defaults) | | New tools | subdirectory + sync updates |

  3. Update sync script - New config directories need linking rules
