Notes

Setup

  • The best way to store your dotfiles: A bare Git repository
  • Create a git tracking folder so that you don’t have to use .git 
    git init --bare .dotfiles-git
  • But now you need to create an alias to always specify the git working tree 
    alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles-git/ --work-tree=$HOME'
  • Mute all the untracked files 
    config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

Secrets

  • encrypt with password or key 
    gpg --output out.gpg --symmetric example.txt
  • gpg with key for public key 
    gpg --output output.gpg --encrypt --recipient joegle@gmail.com example.txt
  • decrypt with password or key 
    gpg --homedir=.. --output clear.txt --decrypt secret.gpg
