0.1

Release 0.1

In all honestly this is just a way for me to figure out how the release mechanism works. I'm starting to get familiar with the tag function in git, and I wanted to test it out, so that's what I'm doing.

This "version" if you can call it that, marks a point at which I finally got everything in my dotfiles working again. Not long ago, I broke something that screwed up all of my terminal applications, including zsh, tmux, neovim... everything I use most heavily on my computer, completely useless. Anyway, the way I fixed it was by clumsily digging back through my commits on this repository to find a working version of my dotfiles, a process that (as I have subsequently learned) was a lot more time-consuming and messy than it needed to be.

Since I wasn't keeping track prior to now, this is now the first "build" or "version" of my dotfiles since everything seems to be working again. As I make more changes from here, I'll be able to use this as a staging point that I can always revert back to if I end up inadvertatly breaking something the way I did before. My hope is that next time (and I'm sure there will be a next time) the process of rewinding back to a working version won't be so tedious, messy, or time-consuing.

Here's some reference material for myself:
