Dotfiles
These are my dotfiles. I use a bare Git repo and Nix to manage them and make them available across different systems.
History
I initially commited to this repository seven years ago, and proceeded to interminably shave the proverbial yak. I experimented, failed, and learned. I moved from Vim to Neovim to Emacs to Neovim to VS Code and back to Neovim. I tried different terminals and window managers. I made various improvements around automation.
An unfortunate hallmark of this journey way was that I never really bothered with meaningful commit mesages. Things were typically just “updated” or a “WIP”. This was intentional—usually I was just trying to get things working the way I wanted so I could get back to work. I was in pure experimentation mode, curious and reckless.
Over time, I stopped relying on copy-pasted modifications and became more thoughtful about edits and updates. I made sure I planned out and understood what changes I was making and why, but still never put effort into the commit messages—perhaps because of the historical precedent, or maybe because I was always in too much of a rush.
In an effort to keep a more useful change log moving forward, I decided to wipe
out all commits in the main branch and begin the history anew. For posterity,
all commits made prior to this change are available in the archives branch.
