+A user's dotfiles are sacred. I, like many others, try to maintain all of my custom configurations and scripts in a [git repo](https://gitlab.com/pyratebeard/dotfiles){target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"}.
-* gpg-agent pinentry wrapper script (commit 2240ff5ac739912b1c352ed97217b886ab0fb422)
-* don't run welcome.zsh if over ssh (commit 8af62ecd9c7e44a77a11541b558fe1ca069a6e14)
+This is a great when you need to build a new system, just clone and go.
+
+I have a number of different systems that I clone my dotfiles onto, PC, latptop, [phone](https://log.pyratebeard.net/entry/20170614-termux_on_android.html){target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"},and sometimes my servers.
+
+All of these systems can be slightly different. Maybe I'm running a different OS, like OpenBSD, so commands or filepaths are dissimilar. To deal with this I would create a new branch as soon as I clone my repo specifically for that device and make any slight adjustments.
+
+Over time I would modify or improve my dotfiles, but I wouldn't always push the changes straight away. I let things build up until I finally sit down, switch back to my main branch, and pick through the changes to push without including any device specific adjustments.
+
+This is a pain. So I have decided to spend some time improving things so I can stick to my main branch on all devices.

+One of the first things I have to change is the `pinentry` command in my _gpg-agent.conf_. I like the minimalism of `pinentry-tty` but it isn't available on all systems.
+
+To get around this I changed my _gpg-agent.conf_ to point to a wrapper script, `pinentry-select`
+```
+#!/bin/sh
+PE=""
+BIN="/usr/bin"
+
+for p in pinentry-tty pinentry-curses pinentry ; do
+ command -v ${BIN}/${p} >/dev/null && PE="${BIN}/${p}"
+ break
+done
+
+exec ${PE} "$@"
+```
+
+This script checks which command is available and sets it to the first one found.

+On my servers I don't tend to need GPG but my zsh config includes running `keychain` to set up ssh and gpg agents when a terminal is started. I modified my _keychain.zsh_ file to only run if `keychain` is installed.

+My zsh setup also includes a script which starts `tmux` on the first terminal opened and then runs my custom `ahoy` script. Again, I don't want or need this on my servers so I modified it not to run over ssh.
