Your unofficial guide to dotfiles on GitHub.

Why would I want my dotfiles on GitHub?
If you’re just starting out, before you go symlinking everything in ~/*
, you
might want to check out some tutorials that discuss how you can
organize your dotfiles. Next, you could look through the general-purpose
dotfiles utilities to find a system you can use to manage your
dotfiles. Some tool-specific frameworks could save you time in
customizing specific programs like your shell.
Prefer to start from a popular base configuration? Check out dotfiles bootstrap repositories. Or just looking for inspiration, to see how others are doing things? Check out other GitHub users’ dotfiles or Reddit’s r/dotfiles subreddit.
