dotfiles

This repository is a personal collection of configuration files — often called "dotfiles" — that customize how the author's terminal and development environment look and behave. Think of it as someone's saved settings for their command-line workspace, shared publicly so others can see how they've set things up.

Dotfiles are the hidden files on systems like macOS and Linux that store preferences for tools like the shell (the text-based interface where you type commands), text editors, and other developer utilities. By keeping these files in a repo, the author can quickly recreate their familiar setup on any new computer. It's like keeping a backup of your browser bookmarks, keyboard shortcuts, and display preferences so you can instantly feel at home on a new machine.

Someone might browse this repo if they're curious about how an experienced developer configures their workflow. You might pick up ideas for useful shortcuts, themes, or tools you hadn't heard of. For example, you could discover a particular shell prompt that displays helpful information, or a set of aliases (custom shortcuts for longer commands) that save keystrokes during everyday work.

The README doesn't go into detail about what's included or how to use it, so anyone visiting would need to explore the files directly to understand what's there. Since it's a personal setup rather than a tool designed for broad adoption, it's more of a reference than something to install wholesale on your own machine.
