Dotfiles

Installation

1. Clone the repository anywhere, where that is not a parent directory of other git repositories (i.e. don't make $HOME the repository)

  git clone --bare [email protected]:RoyStegeman/dotfiles.git

3. Set up an alias such that it doesn't conflict with git (and make sure it's in .bashrc)

  alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.local/share/dotfiles.git --work-tree=$HOME'

4. We don't want to track all files we didn't explicitly add ourselves

  dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

TODO (maybe)

• add bash file to automate the setup on a clean machine
• Instead of making $HOME the work-tree, just keep a repo on my machine as any other and symlink (write bash script to set up the symlinks)
