xdg-rlz's Issues

Would you accept additions from lewiscowper/dotcrap?

I came across this repo from a post on lobste.rs, and was thankful that someone else had the same thoughts I had. I maintain a similar project to clear out "dotcrap" files into XDG specified directories, and I was wondering whether you'd be open to adding some of the entries here into your project, and collaborate on it in the future. Mine is predominantly (but not specifically) macOS/zsh based, but I see no reason exporting env variables would be shell or OS specific, other than the shell/OS specific files themselves.
