Dotfiles

This is my dotfile repository. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My primary operating system is macOS, but I do use Linux occasionally. I always aim to make everything work for both platforms but no guarantees.

Feel free to try out my dotfiles or use them as inspiration! If you have a suggestion, improvement or question, please open an issue or PR!

optional arguments:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit

  -i, --install  Install (extra) software
  -c, --config   Configures your system
  -a, --all      Does all of the above

[!WARNING]

If you decide to use this configuration as is, don't forget to change your name and e-mail address in .gitconfig.

[!NOTE]

On macOS, you'll have to append the absolute path to fish to /etc/shells before you can change your shell with chsh -s $(which fish).
