Overview

Welcome to My Dotfiles

If you’ve seen one dotfiles repo you’ve seen them all. They’re all the same. They’re all a mess.

This one is no different. But it’s mine.

What is this repository?

This is my personal collection of dotfiles - the configuration files that customize my development environment, tools, and workflow. While primarily created for my own use, I’ve documented everything here to:

1. Help me remember what I did and why
2. Share what I’ve learned with others
3. Create a reference for anyone interested in dotfiles management

More than just dotfiles

This repository is also a growing knowledge base for dotfiles management. I’m attempting to turn it into a general-purpose Dotfiles Wiki that documents:

• Best practices for organizing dotfiles
• Tools and techniques for dotfiles management
• Common patterns and solutions for configuration challenges
• My personal journey of customization and optimization

Key features

• Chezmoi for dotfiles management
• True one-command installation
• Cross-platform support
• Extensive documentation
• Modular organization

Philosophy

My approach to dotfiles centers on a few core principles:

• Automation: If it can be automated, it should be
• Documentation: Everything should be well-documented (for future me)
• Modularity: Components should be organized and separable
• Transparency: The how and why behind each configuration choice

Getting started

Curious about what’s here? You can:

• Browse the docs to learn about my setup
• Check out the installation guide (but read the warnings first!)
• Explore specific tools and configurations in the sidebar

Remember: These are my dotfiles. They work for me. Your needs will be different. Use this as inspiration, not as a template to blindly apply to your system.
