Hello there! These are my dotfiles, which are text-based configuration files for most of the programs I use on Linux. I have dabbled in a few different window managers, but my current daily driver - and hence the only one that is in any sort of working order - is XMonad. See my XMonad config README.md for more XMonad-specific information!
