This document captures my standard tooling for future replication and aims to make it as easy as possible to setup and use.
The environment is based on [[https://linuxmint.com/][Linux Mint]] ~20.3~ primarily, although guides for Windows 11 with [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about][Window Subsystem for Linux]] are included from a legacy perspective.

* How I get things done
Before diving into the technical details, below is a brief summary of how I get things done.
** Code editing
For an editor I primarily rely on [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][emacs]], specifically [[https://github.com/humacs/humacs][humacs]]. To pair and share my terminals with others I rely on [[https://tmate.io/][tmate]].

The main feature that I rely on in emacs is [[https://orgmode.org/][org-mode]]. This allows me to do literate programming, writing my documenation with embedded code blocks that are actually executable or exportable via [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html][babel]].
Working with some clients I also use [[https://code.visualstudio.com/][visual studio code]].

For reading email I rely on the [[http://www.mutt.org][mutt]] terminal email client. Included in this repository are the configuration dotfiles I use.

The thing I like most about mutt is the caching which means I can traverse or scan through my entire email history in seconds. In a browser this would be a painfully slow process.
** Managing secrets
[[https://bitwarden.com/][Bitwarden]] is my secrets manager of choice. Primarily due to the emphasis they place on open source and excellent ~bw~ cli utility. Use of the bitwarden cli is incorporated into many of my workflows.
