Import portable personal configs (ssh, nix, gh)#2
Merged
Conversation
Tiny SSH client config (6 lines: AddKeysToAgent, UseKeychain, IdentityFile for github.com). No work hostnames; fully portable to a personal machine. home/ssh/config -> ~/.ssh/config (Dotbot creates the symlink inside the existing ~/.ssh/ directory; surrounding key files are untouched).
One-line nix config enabling experimental nix-command and flakes features. Travels regardless of whether you go all-in on Nix later -- the setting itself is portable shorthand for 'modern Nix UX please.'
GitHub CLI preferences (notably 'co' alias for 'pr checkout'). Skips hosts.yml -- that file holds OAuth tokens and stays out of the repo. gh auth state is unaffected because hosts.yml is unchanged.

Summary
Three small portable configs migrated from $HOME into the repo for personal-laptop portability:
home/ssh/config— 6-line SSH client config (github.com identity, keychain integration). No work hostnames.xdg/nix/nix.conf— enables nix-command + flakes. Travels regardless of whether Nix becomes primary on personal.xdg/gh/config.yml— gh CLI preferences incl. `co: pr checkout` alias. `hosts.yml` (auth tokens) intentionally NOT imported.What I deliberately skipped (and why)
