CBs Dotfiles

These are my dotfiles for macOS Big Sur. Currently there are not many files but I try to add more and more over time. Feel free to take what you need. If you find an error, please let me know.

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.
