+Here are my system configurations.  There are many like them but these are mine.
+
+
+# Installation
+
+Clone this repo to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, which in [profile/profile](https://github.com/duckwork/etc/blob/main/profile/profile) I’ve set to
+`$HOME/etc`.  See that file for other XDG directories I’ve set to non-standard
+places.  (Just in case something hard-codes `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, I also symlink
+them in `bootstrap.sh`, which see below.)
+
+Instead of GNU Stow or a Makefile, I use a short `bootstrap.sh` script that reads
+`bootstrap.manifest`, a tab-separated file mapping repo paths to paths in `$HOME`.
+It only contains files for programs that [aren’t XDG-compliant](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory#Support), so it should stay
+short.
+
+Anyway, run `bootstrap.sh` in this directory and you should be set.

+# Programs to install
+
+
+## Required
+
+-   **bash + readline:** I prefer this shell over others, since I don’t do anything
+    super wild in the terminal nowadays anyway
+-   **git:** Kind of required to do anything with this repo
+-   **keychain:** Manages `ssh-agent`
+
+
+## Extra
+
+-   **mbsync:** For mail.
+
+
+# Notes
+
+-   My [emacs configuration is elsewhere](https://tildegit.org/acdw/emacs), but it goes in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` as well.
