I'm very lazy and move between computers somewhat regularly, so here are my various, hopefully portable configuration files! Everything I've written here is public domain (insofar as it's cobbled together from the internet's knowledge en masse), so feel free to steal and use to your heart's content.

My personal setup for actually using this repo is approximately:

1. Clone this repo somewhere that's gonna be readily accessible for quick edits. This is generally under my actual projects directory, e.g. ~/Local Workspace/Projects/dotfiles or ~/me/projects/cli/dotfiles or whatever.

2. Symlink the repository into ~/.dotfiles so it's effectively kept in one consistent place and I can always access it there, even if I move the main project folder somewhere else (in which case I just update the ~/.dotfiles symlink).

3. Symlink individual config files as needed, e.g. ~/.zshrc -> ~/.dotfiles/.zshrc which gets expanded to ~/Local Workspace/Projects/dotfiles/.zshrc. Yay!
