DotFiles Setup Script

This script helps you manage your dotfiles by setting up a symbolic link for the .profile file and applying Nix configuration files from a predefined directory.

Features

• DotProfile Setup: Creates a backup of your existing .profile file (if it exists) and replaces it with a symbolic link to a customized .profile file in your dotfiles directory.

• Nix Configuration: Backs up existing Nix configuration files in /etc/nixos, then replaces them with symbolic links to configuration files located in your dotfiles directory's nixos subfolder.

Prerequisites

• Bash (Bourne Again Shell)
• Linux-based operating system
• Nix package manager (for Nix configuration)

Usage
