subject: Which dotfiles are worth

In getting ready to try the latest "full-upgrade" for RaspiOS
I decided to save a copy of my home directory on another machine,
just in case the upgrade goes wrong.

It turns out to be a fairly big job, mostly because of dotfiles.

Is there any simple rule of thumb for cleaning up before backing up?
I'd like to avoid destroying useful things (saved login credentials)
that notes and memory might not record accurately. The rest can go.

Thanks for reading,
