Modular, private template repo
While committing things directly to repos works, it's not great if you plan to work on multiple machines, or you just want to back it up somewhere safe.
In your .profile or .zprofile, you can set
export $UMBRA_ZELLIJ_PRIVATE_SUBDIR=/path/to/your/private/template/repo/{{curr_folder_name}}
Where the contents of your template repo is
<root>
|+ .git
|+ some_project
|- default.kdl
|- other.kdl
|- third.kdl
|+ umbra
|- default.kdl
This gives you a centralised place to put all your templates, while still allowing for magic scoping.
