Support hostname specific configs

[nikitabobko]

It would be cool to have hostname specific configurations in case when users use different computers

Suggestions:

• ~/.aerospace.toml - fallback
• ~/.aerospace-$HOSTNAME.toml - hostname specific config

That can be achieved with using something like yadm to manage one's dotfiles

I don't like symlinks. I manage my dotfiles with pure git git -c status.showUntrackedFiles=no --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME "$@", that's why I want to have a built-in support for hostname-specific configs

But maybe it's a bad idea, it opens a Pandora's box of other possible conditions like architecture, notch vs no-notch (but they must covered by hostname, so maybe it's not a problem after all)

I've not decided yet

Just wanted to provide an alternative :) Were your first thoughts for the whole config file to be duplicated (but some settings being specific to the host) or to have a main aerospace.toml and include() the hostname-specific settings?

Given that we have ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/aerospace/ directory dedicated for configuration, maybe we can do all these things there? We can let aerospace.toml be either a regular config or a "link" indicating which config should be looked at next. The format of "link" will be easy to differentiate from a regular config.

For example:

-- .config/aerospace
     |-- aerospace.toml
     |-- home_mac.toml
     |-- x86.toml
     |-- random.toml

and aerospace.toml:

[[link]]
filename = "home_mac"
hostname = "home_mac"
[[link]]
filename = "x86"
arch = "x86_64"
[[link]]
filename = "random"
arch = "arm64"
hostname = "good"

where we choose the first matched config.

I'd like to be able to include other files, as I share base dotfiles via git, and usually have gitignored local files that change configuration depending on the host which aren't shared (but sometimes symlinked if I want to keep them in git as well).
