Legend goes, that dotfiles were invented when ls
used to skip files and directories starting with a .
(dot). As a result, files that begin with such a character were not shown when listing using ls
— i.e. it was a "hidden" file. Since dotfiles are ususually user-specific, a predestined place for them is the $HOME
directory.
Commonly used files are for example: .bashrc
, .zshrc
or .vimrc
.
