1 year agoI prefer to keep tooling for that at a minimum. Therefore I use git only. My approach is taken from here: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles
The only difference: My git alias is dotfiles
not config
. I find that to be less confusing. Additionally, I source system-specific configs, where appropriate. These are not stored in dotfiles. There is a small todo section in my readme.
Unfortunately this is not the case. A lot of people leave school assuming that scientific discoveries are eternal, unfailable truth that we just know to be true. Few ever understand how we acquired our knowledge and how to lewrn to understand it. Many assume you ‘just have to learn it’. Those your play around with computers or other stuff have an advantage. They know how to gain understanding not just how to learn facts.
