Duncan McClean's Dotfiles

Duncan's Dotfiles

This repository contains my Dotfiles and anything I use to setup and maintain my Mac (and sometimes Linux) machines. It simplifies the process of installing software and tools on a fresh install of MacOS and it contains any configuration files I use to keep my Mac in shape.

Feel free to copy parts of this for your own dotfiles!
