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.
