In the near future you will be installing your very own desktop environment, applications and themes from the ground up.
We will need to type in a lot of commands before everything is installed.
What if there is a way to keep track of all those commands…
What if there is a way to keep your configuration files online…
What if there is a way to re-install your personal configurations very fast…
I can only recommend you use and learn to work with Github.
I can give you a quick and easy way to set up your own personal github.
Use only two scripts to maintain your github
