## Introduction
Dotfiles are configuration files that are typically hidden in your home directory and start with a dot (e.g., `.bashrc`, `.vimrc`, `.gitconfig`). These files are used to customize the behavior of various programs and tools on your system.

In this repository, I've collected and organized my personal dotfiles and other configuration files to make it easier to manage and share them across different machines.

## Installation 

The files are not "doted" so that they are not hidden by default on Linux systems.

All files are related to the user home directory `~`

Therefore `config` > `~/config`, `oh-my-zsh/custom` > `~/.oh-my-zsh/custom`, `home` > `~/` and so on.

If you unsure where they would go, doing a `find ~ -type d -iname "*<folder name>*"` would usually point you in the right direction

That would mean that the eg the files in `config/nvim` would go to `~/.config/nvim`

 ### Automatic Method
 
use the auto deployer `./deployer.sh` which will use `deployment_playbook.json` to backup your current dotfiles and copy / append the new ones
