😬 Important notes

During the installation

where are going to be located your dotfiles?

  1. press Enter if you ok with the default location (~/.dotfiles)
  2. if you want a custom location, the path should include the name of your new dotfiles folder (ex. ~/Documents/workspace/<folder_name>), you don’t need to create it manually, if you do that, you’ll get a .back folder of your empty folder
