Nothing makes a terminal feel more like home as one’s own shell configuration. My shell is bash, configured through a .bashrc and .profile. Bash is likely to be present in any Unix machine one uses.
Bash is also my primary IDE. This allows for keeping a relatively simple set of utilities and tools to internalize. Coupled with a reliable window manager, workflows can be quickly scripted in the head. Shell scripts are an option as well for more complex flows. This can be done at multiple levels: using uniquely identifiable comments in commands , bash functions, complete bash script.
