I saw this on hacker news the other day, but I’m always wary of customizing my shell too much since I’m just going to miss those features when I inevitably have to spend several hours in a remote shell trying to debug something. I’ve long been wanting to figure out a method for having your own personal shell but the information they operate on is the remote machines. Something like a reverse ssh, but I haven’t ever had time to dig into the problem really.
If I spend any appreciable amount of time on remote ssh instances I have a tool, called dotbot, which I use to bootstrap my environment quickly, also good for reinstalls of my local machines.

It would still be nice to somehow automatically load a handful of config settings and utility scripts into a remote shell without actually touching the remote disk at all.

These tools look awesome, in particular bat seems like something I could use regularly.
However, instead of prettyping I would prefer to use mtr. If you switch through the display modes (by hitting "d") you can get a waterfall view that will show every hop between you and your destination. On a weak/intermittent connection it makes it much easier to diagnose what's going on.
