This repository uses Nicola Paolucci's approach to managing dotfiles. The important information is repeated here.
git init --bare $HOME/.cfg
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
echo "alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'" >> $HOME/.bashrc
Now manage your dotfiles just like any other repository except that you should now use the config alias instead of git.
Warning: This will replace existing dotfiles if you already have any installed locally. Because mine are better. 👍
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maxg203/dotfiles/master/install.sh | shUse the conf alias in place of git (i.e. conf status would be equivilant to git status within a normal git repo). You can do this in any directory to manage your dotfiles.
Once installed, use conf update (which should now be available on your path) to pull the latest changes from this repository, source the dotfiles and check that all the vim has all its plugins installed.
I personally use the Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) default GNOME Terminal on Linux and iTerm2 on macOS Mojave. These dotfiles work great especially with these in my opinion. I do not use Windows for development very often so if you do... good luck!
