What Are Dotfiles?
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 a 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 configurations helpful in customizing their own dotfiles.

Who Am I?
I am Derek Taylor (DT), the creator of the DistroTube channel (also DT) on YouTube. In my videos, I focus a lot of my attention on minimal window managers such as openbox, dwm, qtile, i3 and xmonad. I also focus heavily on command line programs and extensible text editors such as Vim and Emacs. Viewers of my channel will often ask me for my configuration files for these programs. This repository serves a triple function:
- As a place to point viewers who ask me for my configs.
- As a learning resource for those that wish to study my configs.
- As a backup and restore option for myself should the need arise.

How To Manage Your Own Dotfiles
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/
