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.

To get around this I changed my _gpg-agent.conf_ to point to a wrapper script, `pinentry-select`

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.

-* different prompt if over vim or ssh (commit 056f2d6ddfdab3b9345bd8dd7b65430defa8f0e2)
+My (current) zsh prompt is pretty minimal, showing `──── ─` on the left then the filepath and git branch details on the right. For my servers I changed the prompt to show the hostname. Now I have configured the prompt to automatically change to the hostname if connecting over `ssh`. This is actually much nicer as my prompt was the same on my laptop and phone and sometimes I forgot if I was still in an `ssh` session.

+For [a while](20221020-shell_shocked.html){target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"} now I have been making use of the terminal buffer in `vim` and have also set a different colour prompt for that.

-* switch to /usr/bin/env bash (commit 9aa4aee5b7a121c0af42de4bf730e8f23e8166f8)
+This one is probably good practice anyway. Switching all my `#!/bin/bash` crashbangs to `#!/usr/bin/env bash` because some systems, like the BSDs use a different filepath for `bash`.

-* doas/sudo in aliases, alias make to gmake on openbsd, and halt
+Aliases are important, there were a couple of changes required here. First some systems use `doas` instead of `sudo` so I put in a check for `doas` and if it exists I alias it to `sudo`. That way all my aliases that are configured to use `sudo` don't break. My shutdown function also had to be modified to work on any platform, so I switched to directly calling `halt`.
