My Linux configuration files. These mostly shouldn't depend on distro, and are intended to work across multiple Linux machines.

The config locations and the apply script attempt to be XDG-aware whenever possible (see the XDG specification).

The apply script is basically a minimal implementation of the idea of GNU Stow, creating symlinks into this repo in the home directory, in the random places programs look for them (e.g. dpkg looks for ~/.dpkg.cfg). This script also does other things, such as set up symlinks to system directories for helpful navigation of non-local configuration (such as global XDG directories). As this places files in this repo, the apply script generates a .gitignore file.

This repo also contains general scripts under ./scripts, which the relevant shell config files should include in the PATH.
