Ubiozur's Dotfiles

Introduction

This repository serve as my storage or my linux config files (aka dotfiles). It makes it easy to setup my systems, headless or workstation, with a common configuration for the softwares.

Feel free to explore, learn and copy parts for your own dotfiles. Enjoy!

Applications

The configurations are for multiples applications I use all the time.

• BASH dotfiles configure my bash and terminal setup.
• fastfetch dotfiles configure fastfetch to my need.
• fonts dotfiles install fonts I use on my systems.
• wget dotfiles move wget files away from the home folder.
