Credits

Most of my dotfiles are a collection of things I found in other people's dotfiles, and then sometimes tweaked it to my own needs. A lot of them (especially the general infrastructure) were copied from Jeremy Felt, and my dotfiles were also inspired by (in any way):

• Helen Hou-Sandí
• Pascal Birchler
• John Blackbourn
