This repository contains configuration files and scripts to set up and manage my development environment. It includes tools, configurations, and automation for a streamlined setup process.

Features

• Automated Installation: Scripts to install essential tools and configurations.

Makefile: Automates installation and linking processes. Notes The install.sh script includes optional steps for configuring tools like Neovim and Git. Some tools (e.g., erlang) may require manual installation due to known issues.
