[abstract]
I'll use the https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11071754["bare repository and alias method"] to track my dotfiles.

== Usage
Use all your familiar git commands but with `config` instead of `git`.

[source,bash]
config status
config add .vimrc
config commit -m "Add vimrc"
config add .config/redshift.conf
config commit -m "Add redshift config"
config push

== Setup

.Clone on new machine
[source,bash]
GIT_DIR=$HOME/Development/nemoinho/gitea.nehrke.info/nemoinho/dotfiles
GIT_REMOTE=git@gitea.nehrke.info:nemoinho/dotfiles.git
git clone --separate-git-dir=$GIT_DIR $GIT_REMOTE $HOME/tmp-dotfiles
rm -r ~/tmp-dotfiles
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$GIT_DIR --work-tree=$HOME'
config checkout
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
