  regularly tested on Linux and Windows using latest stable versions of

  software.

- For software usually only on Linux / Unix, it can be run on Windows using Windows

  Subsystem for Linux (WSL), Cygwin, and/or MSYS2 on Windows



## How Dotfiles are Managed



There are many ways to manage your dotfiles. I use an

[Ansible playbook](https://github.com/justunsix/dotfiles-playbook) inspired by

[geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook](https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook)

and

[dotfiles Ansible role](https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-dotfiles)

which installs and configures machines I use from base installation using

package managers like apt, dnf, nix, chocolately, and scoop.
