This repository is a personal dotfiles collection (configuration files for shell, editors, and related tools), organized to bootstrap and version-control the author’s development environment. It typically includes files like .zshrc, .vimrc, .gitconfig, and other scripts or plugin configs, plus installation or bootstrap helper scripts. The structure often supports modular overrides (machine-specific or role-specific configs) and may integrate with tools like GNU Stow, chezmoi, or custom symlink automation. The intent is that one can clone the repo on a new machine and reliably reproduce a consistent working environment with minimal manual setup. Often these dotfiles include helpful aliases, prompt customizations, plugin hooks, and cross-platform tweaks for macOS, Linux, or Windows subsystems. Because dotfiles repos are deeply personal, they also serve as a showcase of the author’s tooling preferences and tricks, offering ideas or starting points for others to adapt.

- Sets up shell prompt configuration, aliases, environment variables, functions for commonly used workflows
- OS-specific configurations / defaults (for macOS / OS X) including sensible tweaks for that OS
- Support for multiple shells (bash, fish etc.) via separate config files or conditional sourcing
- Use of Git for versioning of configuration, making it easy to share, update, roll back changes
- Possibly includes bootstrap scripts or symlink setup to apply the configuration when installing on a new system
