Dotfiles

I’m obsessive about efficiency, productivity, and the ability to easily spin up a new machine with all of the little details as I like them. So that’s why I have extensive dotfiles that I maintain. All of my nitty-gritty settings for my computer (development, specifically) are maintained there.
