I also started my dotfiles over ten years ago! First commit was in 2012. Use them every day. I thank the awesome folks at Jane Street for teaching me about both dotfiles and Mercurial! (Second job out of college.)

I started in 2009. :-)

1990, and I've still got things in my .cshrc to fix quirks in SunOS 4 and Irix that I can't bear to remove out of nostalgia.

1983, but not in a git repo ;-)

Also stuff to distinguish between different Unix flavors and hardware ("if it's this host which is a sun3 with FPU, add -m68881 to CFLAGS") -- not removed but commented out.

I think a lot of us would be fascinated by stuff like this, if you were okay with publishing it :)

That's amazing. I knew I'd get some responses like this here!
