Using git to manage dotfiles
Setup environment in a new computer:
- Make sure to have git installed
git clone --bare [email protected]:philfreo/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles
alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
dotfiles checkout
dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
Now replace 'git' commands with 'dotfiles' commands.
