+Dotfiles
+========
+
+My dotfiles, a constantly evolving set of configurations which I arguably spend
+too much time tweaking, but they make the command line feel like home, so here
+we are.
+
+Vim
+---
+
+I do love me some Vim, that's for sure. I run Vim with [vim-plug][] to manage
+plugins. I have _many_ plugins and customizations (stored in `vim/rcfiles` and
+`vim/rcplugins` respectively) which may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I sure
+do love a sharp tool.

+
+
+Zsh
+---
+
+I run zsh as my shell, finding it to be a great middle ground between adding
+additional niceties and features, while remaining a largely compatible shell
+scripting target. I use [zplug][] to manage zsh plugins (like the amazing
+[zsh-syntax-highlighting][] plugin), and I use [pure][] as my prompt.

+
+
+Tmux
+----
+
+Tmux allows me to combine processes, shells, and Vim in any way I need for the
+project at hand. I'm able to build my own IDE-like experience at the command
+line while still using the best tool for any given job. I'm a big fan.
+
+Core to my tmux work is the combination of two plugins that bring Vim & tmux
+together, [vim-tmux-navigator][] for navigation, and [vim-tmux-runner][] for
+sending commands from vim to tmux.

+
+
+fzf
+---
+
+Lastly have [fzf][], "a command-line fuzzy finder". In the end this is a much
+smaller component being just a shell command, but I find I use it across each of
+Vim, zsh, and tmux, and it has become absolutely core to many of my workflows,
+thus it gets top billing.
