 | package | description |
 | --- | --- |
 | `base` | The base package contains shell and core utility configuration. Other packages do not depend on it; it merely contains basic configuration that I find necessary in every case. |
-| `bin` | My custom binaries, plonked at `~/.bin`. |
 | `desktop-common` | Common configuration shared across all possible rices. This contains things such as keybindings for applications, Quake configs, Redshift, etc. Configuration files with themes are avoided where possible. |
 | `desktop-gruvbox` | My current rice and its accompanying configs. A nice and simple one with Rofi, bspwm, Dunst, Compton, and Polybar. |
 | `firestarter` | A custom set of desktop environment scripts that I threw together to manage my environment without worrying about the fine details all the time. See the Firestarter repo for more info. |
