Me and Emma celebrated our first wedding anniversary at Ten Minutes by Tractor on Saturday night. It was a wonderful evening and the food and wine were world class. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to celebrate a special occasion.

Side note: the Main Ridge area has some beautiful driving roads. The trees and farms are stunning. It would be an absolute dream to have a house there but I think it's very expensive.

I also added starship to my zsh shell over the weekend which many other dev's use at my work.

It's nice; not life-changing but it provides good context at a glance whenever you're working in a repo.

Over the weekend I did something long overdue; cleaning up my dotfiles. I've done things a stupid way in the past where I'd store my dotfiles in iCloud Drive as a duplicate of what was in my home directory.

Using git is a much better solution to this problem.

In interacting with ChatGPT it came up with a scripting strategy whereby you have this alias in your .zshrc

alias dot='/opt/homebrew/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'

which creates an empty git directory named .dotfiles in your home and you interact with your dotfiles using dot instead of git.

So whenever I update my .zshrc now the flow is

dot status
dot add -u
dot commit -m "Commit message"
dot push

and everything is stored remotely in GitHub ready for a new machine whenever I switch.

I'm currently also storing my Ghostty config file as well as my .gitconfig. But the main thing I need to store somewhere safe is the .zshrc as I have a number of aliases and functions now that should be tracked.

I played Minish Cap ages ago but I didn't play through the whole thing. Will do so this time.

The pixel art is beautiful and it again shows how strong the Game Boy Advance library was. I wish there were Zelda games still like this these days.
