| Tool |
Description |
cargo |
Rust toolchain (via rustup); used by fish-deps to install Rust-based tools and to build fish from source. All paths are gated on type -q cargo and degrade gracefully. |
starship |
Cross-shell prompt; loaded via type -q starship guard. Without it the Catppuccin nim-style fallback prompt activates. |
uv |
Python package and project manager (Astral); used by the fish-from-source build path in fish-deps. All consumers degrade gracefully without it. |
direnv |
Per-directory environment loading; integration is fully guarded with type -q direnv. Without it the direnv hook is simply not loaded and auto-venv activates normally. |
paru |
AUR helper (Arch only; preferred); guarded throughout — non-Arch systems silently skip AUR-specific paths. |
yay |
AUR helper (Arch only; fallback to paru); same guards apply. |
eza |
Modern ls replacement |
lsd |
ls replacement (fallback to eza) |
bat |
Syntax-highlighted cat |
btop |
Modern resource monitor |
dust |
Disk usage tree (Rust) |
duf |
Disk usage/free overview |
prettyping |
Colorized ping wrapper |
ov |
Modern pager (replaces less) |
ripgrep |
Fast line search |
lazygit |
Terminal git UI |
lazydocker |
Terminal docker UI |
trash |
Safe delete (trash-cli) |
kitty |
GPU-accelerated terminal (primary) |
wezterm |
GPU-accelerated terminal (alternative) |
python3 |
Standalone interpreter — used by the paru/yay log cleaner. Note: uv does not provide python3 on PATH, and Arch’s base does not include it, so it is listed separately. All consumers degrade gracefully without it. |
yt-dlp |
Video/media downloader; backs the yt-dlp wrapper function. Optional — the wrapper falls back to the system yt-dlp and the rest of the config works without it. |
The install priority for each tool:
| Method |
Packages |
cargo |
Rust tools (eza, lsd, bat, dust, ov, ripgrep, trashy, zoxide, starship) — always gets the latest crate version |
| system PM |
paru / apt / brew / dnf / etc. — for tools without a crate |
git clone |
fzf — installed from GitHub to ~/.fzf/ |
curl |
starship installer, fisher bootstrap, uv installer |
