dotfiles

My personal dotfiles following the Atlassian bare repo tutorial

Setup

Prevent weird recursion problems:
```
echo ".dotcfg" >> $HOME/.gitignore
```

Clone this dotfile repository into the .dotcfg folder of your $HOME:

git clone --bare git@github.com:snototter/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotcfg

Define the following alias:

alias dotconfig='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotcfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'

TODO dotconfig checkout - might fail (need to automate user query + backup)

Set repository properties:

# Hide untracked files
dotconfig config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
# User details
dotconfig config --local user.name "snototter"
dotconfig config --local user.email "snototter@users.noreply.github.com"
# Set upstream branch
dotconfig push --set-upstream origin main

Done, now dotfile changes can be simply tracked:

dotconfig status
dotconfig add .bashrc
dotconfig commit -m "Add bashrc"
dotconfig push
