+# About
+
+Welcome to my dotfiles repository!
+
+Here you will find my custom configuration files for a variety of applications and utilities. All of which are written in org-mode literate configuration format.
+
+All of the configurations in this repository are managed using [GNU Stow](https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/), which allows me to easily manage and switch between different configurations for different systems or environments.
+

+# WARNING!
+
+It's important to note that my dotfiles in this repository are constantly evolving, as I am constantly experimenting with new configurations and settings.
+
+While I am happy to share my configurations, **I do not recommend using them as-is on your own system** without careful review and testing.
+
+It's possible that some configurations may not work as expected or may cause issues on your system. Therefore, I strongly recommend taking caution and reviewing any changes carefully before applying them to your own system.
