Information about plugins, addons and mac software.

This repository contains:

• linked dotfiles.
• list of my most useful mac software including plugins and addons.
• most useful commands and shortcuts.

The dotfiles are being symlinked using stow as described in this blog entry.

In short:

1. create new .some_config file in ~/.dotfiles/
2. stow ~/.dotfiles/ automatically links files into home directory
