Dotfiles are the customization files that are used to personalize your Linux or other Unix-based System. You can tell that a file is a dotfile because the name of the file will begin with a period-a dot! The period at the beginning of the filename or directory name indicates that it is a hidden file or directory. This repository contains my personal dotfiles. They are stored here for convenience so that i may quickly access them on new machines or new installs. Also, others may find some of my configuration helpful in customizing their own dotfiles.

It’s easy as managing your own dotfiles because I have this script which automates the deployment process of my dotfiles. Yeah i sarcastically call it “DEMONOS”.
There are a hundred ways to manage your dotfiles. Personally, I use the git bare repository method for managing my dotfiles. Here is an article about this method of managing your dotfiles: https://developer.atlassian.com/blog/2016/02/best-way-to-store-dotfiles-git-bare-repo/
