Ask HN: Resources for finding dotfiles and config files

1 pointseindiran2y ago2 comments

Occasionally I want to pick up a new tool or alter my config for an existing one and typically need to read the docs to build a config myself or find examples piecemeal. Is there a resource out there with example dotfiles/config files for at least common tools that people upload?

A couple of ideas:

1) Use GitHub code search to find those files. A lot of people store them in GitHub repos.

2) https://reddit.com/r/unixporn – it's very common to share dot files against submissions, though they do tend to be by the more creative types.
