You don't keep your dot files in git? :)



Yes, they are in a git repo :D

I just mean, it’s intentionally not a fancy setup with all kinds of things.

Just the most essential stuff and some symlinks. For the few dotfiles I really care about.

In an ideal world, I wouldn’t need any dotfiles at all. And my home directories would only contain files that I myself put there. Like my photos, my music, and code that I write. Those kinds of things.

That’s the main reason I don’t like managing all of my dotfiles. Because I don’t really want them in the first place. The only thing I want less in my home dirs but which I also have to live with is all of the other garbage that programs I use put there on their own. Like caches and different weird files that the programs decided should be there.
