🌈 Welcome to my dotfiles 👨🏻‍💻

Curated development environment that I use on my machines. Follow these instructions if you'd like to set up something similar, otherwise simply explore the dotfiles for inspiration.

4. Install the Homebrew package manager

   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
   
   # Temporarily export brew to the PATH
