This repo contains all my dotfiles. It is modeled after harfangk's excellent blog post.
The main branch only contains README.md, which is used for documentation purposes, and left out of the other branches.
The base branch contains all dotfiles which are used everywhere without any modifications on a per machine level, like my zsh or neovim configs.
Then there are branches for each host, containing configurations which differ from one machine to another.
To use this repo, only a few commands are needed
echo 'alias dotfiles="git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles.git/ --work-tree=$HOME"' >> $HOME/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
echo ".dotfiles.git" >> .gitignore
git clone -b common --bare git@github.com:jonathanplatzer/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles.git
dotfiles checkout
dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
Now everything should work as expected and the dotfiles alias to add to this repo.
