The Culture of Dotfiles

Search "dotfiles" on GitHub and you'll find hundreds of thousands of repositories. It's a culture among engineers of publishing and sharing configuration files like .zshrc and .bashrc.

Browsing other people's dotfiles reveals clever aliases and techniques you'd never think of on your own. Those "I had no idea you could do that" moments are what make the terminal so rewarding.

When you get a new computer, a git clone and a few links put your whole environment back. Growing your configuration files is like sharpening your own personal toolbox.
