# add alias to shell configuration
echo 'alias dotfiles="/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME"' >> $HOME/.zshrc
# Reload the shell setting
source ~/.zshrc
# Prevent untracked files from showing up when we call dotfiles status
dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
