sin-ack bb609cee7f Meta: Add run-local.sh
This allows one to set their desired parameters for run.sh without the
need to set them in every terminal session or add it to the user account
shell files. If a run-local.sh file exists at the repository root and is
executable, it will be sourced. The file can contain any variables that
are expected to be set in run.sh.

Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.

How do I read the documentation?

When running SerenityOS you can use man for the terminal interface, or help for the GUI.
