# .dotfiles
Welcome to [ivuorinen](https://github.com/ivuorinen)'s .dotfiles repository.
It's a hodgepodge of scripts and configurations, tests and mistakes I'm not
aware of yet. As I find more interesting tools, configs and other stuff,
this repository will live accordingly.
Please for the love of everything good do not use these 1:1 as your own dotfiles,
fork or download the repository as a zip and go from there with your own configs.
It would be nice if you'd add an issue linking to your fork or repo so I can
see what interesting stuff you've done with it. Sharing is caring.

Running `dfm` gives you a list of available commands.
