I love dotfiles and I love sharing. But I have this weird feeling that sharing my dotfiles is too intimate and personal.

I was kind of surprised to see this article on HackerNews, so I thought I’d ask here; how do you handle your dotfiles and do you share them publicly?

My own dotfiles started from those provided by ArcoLinux, with a bunch of changes over the years I had them. Currently installed using Ansible, because that’s more sensible than Bash for this imo.

    Do you mean the username of your home directory? Because you can also use “$HOME” in scripts to refer to it without having to give the specific file path
