Hey everyone! I know I've been quiet on here for a while. I've been working hard to finish and publish a project. I also documented it using Read the Docs.
Opal Version 3 is a command line framework for Bash users. There a new Bash scripting library that makes it much easier to write shell scripts, and a great way to power your dotfiles.

@unknownuniverse Iβd treat this as a checklist, not as something to run blindly.
It updates the system, installs AUR packages, enables services, modifies /etc/fstab, mounts NFS shares, and enables update timers.
Useful? Sure.
Something Iβd execute from a random post on my main machine?
Absolutely not. π
If you are a "ZSH Casual" who prefers vim as their editor, but whose fingers prefer emacs terminal keybindings...
You may be surprised to find setting `EDITOR=vim` will switch your keybindings to vim.
`set -o emacs` fixes it! But omg that bugged me for a couple weeks before I knuckled down and line-by-line debugged my (8 line) `.zprofile` and `.zshrc` files.
Bajo el principio KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid), Arch te permite construir un sistema desde cero, instalando solo lo que realmente necesitas. Para quienes vivimos en la terminal, su modelo rolling release y el AUR son herramientas inigualables que garantizan software siempre actualizado. π

The manager will symlink your symlink. The OS resolves the chain transparently. Both `~/.foo/X` and `~/.bar/X` see the same files. One edit point. Single source of truth in git (which stores symlinks natively on Unix).
Tested today on dotbro with a Claude Code skill that lives at both `~/.claude/skills/X` and `~/.agents/skills/X`. Same trick works for stow, chezmoi β anything that calls symlink(2) without resolving src first.
dotfiles tip: if your dotfiles manager only supports 1:1 sourceβdestination mappings, but you need one source folder mounted in two places under $HOME β don't fight the tool.
Trick: keep one source as the truth. Put a relative symlink to it inside your repo at the second location. Now you have two distinct source paths pointing to the same content. Two mappings, no key collision.
