Subject: [PATCH] feat(root): add install script for dotfile symlinkingThis
 script automates the setup of dotfiles by symlinking configuration folders,
 the Zsh configuration file, and scripts to the appropriate user directories,
 with backup handling for existing files.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

New Features- Added `install.sh` to symlink configs, `.zshrc`, and scripts.
- Creates `~/.config` and `~/.local/bin` directories if missing.
- Backs up existing files before replacement.

Enhancements- Provides clear step‑by‑step progress messages.

Bug Fixes
- None.
