+### Windows Terminal
+
+`windows/windows-terminal/settings.json` is linked into the Terminal package
+folder (`...\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_*\LocalState\settings.json`) by
+`link-dotfiles.ps1`. Because it's linked, changes you make in the Terminal UI
+write straight back into this repo. The settings include the **Australis**
+color scheme and the **VictorMono Nerd Font Mono** profile font; install the
+font (see below) so glyphs render.
