dotfiles | I used to be

dotfiles is a Shell library. dotfiles has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Behold, GNU Stow: the mod manager for your Linux home directory! Anyone who's used Vortex or MO2 to mod games like Skyrim will find how this works surprisingly familiar: mod (dot) files are organized into separate folders, and the mod manager (stow) combines them into the game (home) directory using symlinks. Continuing with the mod manager theme, different machines can have a different "profile" or mod list. Having written excessively-complicated setup scripts in the past, I decided to keep things simple this time around — no complex framework, no YAML files — each profile is just a short bash script, sortof like a Dockerfile. Applies the convention of loading configuration files from a directory to bashrc: after setting some common aliases and such, sources every file in ~/.config/bashrc.d/. This way the other mods can put their stuff in e.g. bashrc.d/git.sh rather than one big file as is traditional. (The system-wide /etc/profile already does this with /etc/profile.d/*.). Git aliases + my gg function that I use so much I wrote a blog post about it, and of course what would be a Max Kagamine system without a myriad of Skyrim references (brace yourself).
