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 push

Setup

Clone on new machine

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

Initial setup

GIT_DIR=$HOME/Development/nemoinho/gitea.nehrke.info/nemoinho/dotfiles
