FAQPage Schema
How do I safely test changes to my Vim, Tmux, and Zsh configuration files?▼

Does this dotfiles editing approach work for managing Tmux configuration?▼

Yes, managing Tmux configuration is fully supported. You can edit your tmux.conf file to customize settings, add Tmux plugins, and test the changes safely before applying them to your active sessions.

How do I edit init.lua to customize my Neovim configuration without breaking my setup?▼

You can edit your init.lua file to customize Neovim while preventing setup breakage by testing changes in a Docker sandbox first. This isolates configuration modifications until they are verified as stable.
