  31 ```bash

  66 If you're using [fish](https://webinstall.dev/fish) (as you should be!), be sure
  67 to set your shell color theme to the same or similar:
  68
  69 ```bash
  70 fish_config colors
  71 ```

  73 ### How to set up profile switching
  74
  75 I suggest using different profiles:
  76
  77 - Default (no matching hosts)
  78 - Local (matching my local `hostname`)
  79 - Remote (matching `app@` for VPSes and cloud environments)
  80 - Prod (matching specific `app@hostname`s for production systems)
  81 - Root (matching `root@`)
  82
  83 You need to "Install Shell Integration" on each host for profile switching to
  84 work.
