| editorconfig | Unified per language settings, using spaces instead of tabs no question |
| exrc | Prefer vi(1) on OpenBSD |
| gitconfig | Global settings such as user.email and aliases |
| gitignore | A global core.excludesfile for $HOME |
| hushlogin | Makes login(1) quieter |
| inputrc | Up and down arrow key bindings for readline(3) |

| profile | Initialization file executed for login shells after /etc/profile, prompt settings etc. |

| vimrc | Be IMproved |
| wgetrc | Saner defaults for when downloading pages recursively for example |
Download someplace convenient. For example,
# Hide inside of $HOME directory, no pun intended :)
git clone https://github.com/thewhodidthis/dotfiles ~/.files
Make links or copy as appropriate prefixing with a . to install. For example,
# Create symbolic links for all "runcom" files, but OK
# maybe only some of these are needed to begin with
find *rc -type f -exec ln -fs ~/.files/{} ~/.{} \;
Save local changes separately. For example,
# Start a new branch to keep track of per machine
# edits named after e.g., `hostname(1)`
git checkout -b gina
Would rather be using Bash? No problem, just ln -fs ~/.files/kshrc ~/.bashrc, then source in ~/.profile along the lines of:
if [[ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]]; then
. "$HOME/.bashrc"
