tspng's dotfiles

Installation

Iinstall dotfiles on a new system with the following steps:

In you current shell, create the following alias:

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

Clone your dotfiles into a bare repository in a .dotfiles folder of your $HOME:

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

Checkout the actual content from the bare repository to your $HOME:

dotfiles checkout

Configure the git repository to not show untracked files (there would be many in $HOME):

config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

You're done, from now on you can now type dotfiles commands to add and update your dotfiles as you would with git.
