CLI Standardization

Ansible project to deploy a modern CLI environment (Fish + Starship + modern coreutils) to Arch and Ubuntu/Debian hosts.

What it installs

• Fish shell 4.x (PPA on Ubuntu, pacman on Arch)
• Starship prompt (official binary installer)
• fzf — fuzzy finder
• zoxide — smarter cd
• bat — cat with syntax highlighting
• eza — modern ls
• fd — modern find
• ripgrep — fast grep
• Fisher plugin manager + plugins
