+# Salt's Dotfiles
+
+GNU Stow Edition
+
+## Installation
+
+Clone the repository and stow in configs that you want, like so:
+
+```bash
+cd
+git clone git@git.desu.ltd:salt/dotfiles .dotfiles
+cd .dotfiles
+stow vim # Or whatever config set you want
+```
+
+I would highly recommend using this repository only as a reference and building your own dotfile solution from scratch.
+
+However, I would *also* highly recommend using this stow-based approach instead of putting a bare repo in your home directory. Been there, done that. It sucks, especially if you're the type to diverge configs between machines or just want a subset installed.
