DwordPtr / dotfiles

Here's where I track my configs

DwordPtr's dotfiles

These are my dotfiles that I use for work/play. My main goals are:

1. Macos/Linux compatibility: I want to be able to move from mac to linux with these same config files with as little pain as possible.
2. Reproducibleish new computer setup be fast and it should be pretty idempotent.
3. Useful I want to have stuff in hear that actually saves me time.
4. Readable & Documented

This is very much a work a in progress and I welcome you to fork and take stuff from this if it helps you out. Feel free to post an issue if you get stumped. Also if you send me a pr for something that helps me I'll be very thankful ❤.

Main trade-offs

1. I optimize for usability over discoverability: The reason why this is a mono repo as opposed to a single repo for every app I use is so I can clone once, run a script and have my config. Someday I'll worry about specifying dependencies but that takes alot of work.

2. Emphasis on iterability: I want to be able to add improvements as I think of them. Its easy to do that with centralized config management. Occasionally I have time to refactor but I'm a busy man and usually working on my actual real job. So I have to be able take on tech debt when I'm busy.

Anyway there's some cool stuff in here IMHO and eventually it will mostly be documented.
