#+TITLE: Dot Files #+AUTHOR: Oliver Taylor

I've learned a lot by reading other people's dot files, I hope you can learn something from reading mine.

** The Software I Use

You can find a detailed write-up of the software I use in =bootstrap.org=, but these dotfiles are centered around just a few programs:

• Shell Scripts :: these are a random collection of text-transformation scripts I've collected over the years, a few I wrote myself but most of them are ripped from other people's dotfiles (I hope you do the same!).
• [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs]] :: My configuration file is long and contains lots of explanations for why I've configured it the way I have. In it I explain that I wrote it this way not for the 3 people who will ever stumble upon it but for me, to help me remember.
• [[http://www.hammerspoon.org][Hammerspoon]] :: an app that lets you write code to control your computer. Lots of apps like this exist, but Hammerspoon is /crazy powerful/ and /crazy flexible/. I am not a real programmer, so the code therein might be a little... bad.

** Feedback

I can't imagine many people will ever read this, let alone want to talk to me about it. But if you do please feel free to [[https://github.com/olivertaylor/dotfiles/issues][open an issue]].
