ghostbsd-utils
There's no no description for this pkg.
I'd like to remove 'fish' but ghostbsd-utils will be removed too. [dependency]
What is ghostbsd-utils for and can I remove it?

GhostBSD Utils is a composite (meta) package designed to include a curated selection of software, specifically chosen by Eric Turgeon, the project's lead developer, for default inclusion in GhostBSD. This meta package serves as a convenient bundle of essential tools and applications, reflecting Eric's vision for the GhostBSD user experience. For a detailed view of the included software, you can explore the dependency list at https://github.com/ghostbsd/ghostbsd-po ... s/Makefile. This list provides insight into the components that form the core of the GhostBSD Utils package.

Here is the excerpt:
RUN_DEPENDS= update-station:ports-mgmt/update-station \
backup-station:sysutils/backup-station \
sudo:security/sudo \
setxkbmap:x11/setxkbmap \
xmodmap:x11/xmodmap \
xdg-user-dirs-update:devel/xdg-user-dirs \
networkmgr:net-mgmt/networkmgr \
software-station:ports-mgmt/software-station \
fish:shells/fish \
webcamd:multimedia/webcamd \
${LOCALBASE}/sbin/automount:sysutils/automount

To enhance your bespoke GhostBSD variant, you have two main options. Firstly, you can directly edit the dependencies to incorporate your preferred shell prior to the build process. This method gives you more control over the initial configuration. Alternatively, if you find this approach too cumbersome, you can modify the ghostbsd-build settings. This involves removing the default 'fish' shell and adding your chosen shell before the first reboot. This second method is more straightforward and is recommended if you prefer a simpler customization process.
