/dät/
noun: dot; plural noun: dots
These are the dotfiles that litter my home directory. I recently wiped my harddrive, and had to reinstall everything. This happened before I had a dotfile repo. Aside from what was in iCloud, I lost everything: brew packages, npm packages, .zshrc, .vimrc, karabiner config, all of my scripts, etc.
Hoping to prevent the hassle of configuring everything from scratch if I (God forbid) wipe my harddrive agian, I decided to follow the steps of many other people on GitHub and make a repo to store my dots for safe keeping.
