.dotfiles

Welcome to 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 repo 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 interesing stuff you've done with it. Sharing is caring.
