+dotfiles to infect computers with
+---------------------------------
+Dylan Bolger 2022
+---------------------------------
+this project manages my dotfiles.
+the goal is system-agnostic on any UNIX distro
+
+special thanks to stilbruch
+
+how this works:
+* git repo initialized in my $home
+* .gitignore wildcard (*) to ignore all
+* git add -f "fileName" from the home dir when I want to add a file here
+* to manage different wms/setups, i'll be using branches
+ - here's the idea:
+ - master => general purpose configuration, useful for any UNIX system I lay my hands on
+ - sway => branch specific to my sway configuration, will have all changes from master that don't conflict
+ - awesomewm => branch specific to my awesomewm configuration, will have all changes from master that don't conflict
+ - this way, if I don't want my sway configs lingering around the fs, I can pull the branch which has the
+ general purpose stuff combined with sway (the sway branch) and I'll have sway + everything I need
+
+feel free to take inspiration from this layout of dotfiles, etc.
+however, forking dotfiles is NOT a good idea. you should always build out your own dots and customize them to your extent.
