Sometimes I have sensitive and system-specific configurations for bash which I want to save. This change is a quick solution to enable this. Maybe another solution involves a setup with encrypted secrets like ansible handles secrets. I should evaluate such a solution in future.
Dotfiles
I’ll use the "bare repository and alias method" to track my dotfiles.
Usage
Use all your familiar git commands but with config instead of git.
config status
config add .vimrc
config commit -m "Add vimrc"
config add .config/redshift.conf
config commit -m "Add redshift config"
config pushSetup
