FAQ

How to add custom commands without creating a new fork

If ~/.extra exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don’t want to commit to a public repository.

You could also use ~/.extra to override settings and aliases from my dotfiles repository. It’s probably better to fork this repository instead, though.
