About my dotfiles

I converted my dotfiles to this approach https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles

1. Clone the repo into bare

git clone --bare git@github.com:mfic/dotfiles.git $HOME/.cfg

1. Define alias in current shell

alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'

2.1. Create a backup of current dotfiles

mkdir -p .config-backup && \
config checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+\." | awk {'print $1'} | \
xargs -I{} mv {} .config-backup/{}

1. Checkout the actual content

config checkout

1. Set the flag showUntrackedFiles to no on this specific (local) repository

config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
