+# dotfiles
+
+A [chezmoi][chezmoi]-activated dotfiles repository containing all settings related to any number of activities for me: Xevion.
+
+This repository is not intended for others, but is kept public in the spirit of Open Source, as well as a test of my ability to build an encrypted config in the open.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If you're not used to Chezmoi, it's a dotfile manager for multiple machines, with special abilities like templating, encryption, secret management, scripting, and more.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> While Chezmoi is a powerful tool with mass configurability, it is not a fully featured declarative configuration manager. This warning is more for myself than others: if you want a fully declarative OS, go install NixOS dumbass.

+## Important Commands
+
+Commands that are of chief importance for managing the repository, scripts, etc.
+
+#### Installation/Bootstrap
+
+```bash
+# Install only
+sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io)" -- init Xevion -b $HOME/.local/bin
+
+# Bootstrap immediately (apply configurations, potentially overwriting existing files)
+sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io)" -- init Xevion -b $HOME/.local/bin --apply
+```
+
+#### Basic
+
+```bash
+# Change to the dotfiles 'source' directory
+chezmoi cd
+# With a specific directory
+chezmoi cd ~/.ssh/
+```
+
+#### Status
+
+```bash
+# Print all unmanaged files in the home directory (tree style, absolute path)
+chezmoi unmanaged ~/ -t -p absolute
+```
+
+- Not yet developed
+    - List all changed config files (source vs  )
+    - Show diffing, search via `fzf` or something.
+    - Show diffing, fuzzy matching
+
+## Intended Goals
+
+- Encrypted configurations for private details
+- Bootstrapping for any Ubuntu-based system
+    - WSL-support
+        - Windows integration?
+    - Device-specific configuration
+- Automatic package/script install/setup
+    - Neovim
+    - VS Code
+- Terminal startup for when configs changed, out of date, etc.
+    - Ideally, this would run on a timer and only fetch the latest status upon terminal startup, keeping startup times low.
+- GitHub Language Attributes Script
+    - Automatically update the language attributes for GitHub repositories
+    - Prehook for commits, updates .gitattributes
