Tools

homebrew

Config

private stuff - /sh/private.sh or /sh/_*.sh

The init.sh file at the root of this repo will attempt to source any .sh file in the sh directory. Git will ignore sh/private.sh, as well as any .sh file prefixed with _. Use this to include anything that shouldn't be checked into version control (secrets, device-specific commands & aliases, etc).

/homefiles

A collection of files for your home directory (like .gitconfig, .inputrc, ..).

/prefs

Misc preference files for apps & programs.

/remote

Bash config and miscellaneous goodies for working with remote servers, VPS instances, etc.
