What are dotfiles

Dotfiles are the customization files used to personalize your Linux system to your liking. Dotfiles can be identified by the preceding dot/period. Since dotfiles start with a dot, these files are hidden.

These are the dotfiles used on my systems. Dotfiles tend to be stored in a Git repository for convenience sake when installing or using a new computer.
