▓▓▓▓▓▓This small workflow keeps desktop configuration versioned without treating an
entire home directory as source code. Profiles separate system-specific files
from configuration that may later be shared.
Two scripts make direction explicit: pull selected configuration from a live
system into the repository, or apply a reviewed profile back to the system.
Exclusion rules keep caches and runtime artifacts out of history.
The project supports the Polybar work and provides a safer foundation for
moving between distributions over time.
