Use-case: 💡 Working on many remote servers? Can't install your favorite tools for some reason? With this repo, you can quickly upload them to a remote Linux server, together with comfortable pre-made configurations.
Warning
.files/* will be copied to the remote server you provision with
this script, so make sure to backup the remote ~/.config directory first, if
there's anything valuable there.
