I've been evolving my personal dev environment over the decades, migrating forward scripts from 4DOS and 4NT when I was a kid and into Powershell. Everything has stayed in sync via whatever worked best at the time - Live Mesh, Cubby, and currently Resilio.

Recently Windows conventions have been leaning away from the registry and toward dotfiles, I've been getting into Linux a bit, and GitHub has a thing for dotfiles. So here's mine. I'm slowly moving publishable things out of the sync, cleaning it up, pushing it. Over time I hope to bend most of the Powershell scripts into something more universally portable, probably Python.

These dotfiles are intended to work across the few environments I care about, currently:

• Windows/PowerShell
• Termux
• Ubuntu (usually via WSL, currently 16.04LTS/xenial)
• MSYS (via Windows git)
• Misc hosted containers with old LTS kernels, like from CodeAnywhere
• Cygwin (minimal, with shared HOME to Windows host) << marked for destruction

Thanks to Anish Athalye for the inspirational post Managing Your Dotfiles.
