# dotfiles in this directory are managed in git
# to start from scratch:
# https://github.com/tmm/dotfiles

# alias git_dotfiles="env GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME GIT_DIR=$HOME/.dotfiles git"
# alias git_dotfiles="git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME"
# 
#./git_dotfiles is a command that works on the bare directory
#
# https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles
# the gotcha is that you won't have remote tracking branches so you need to git push origin


# to bootstrap a new machine:
curl -Lks https://raw.githubusercontent.com/poleguy/dotfiles/master/dotfiles_setup | /bin/bash


# note, that gitignore includes everything, so anything new most be added explicitly
echo "*" >> .gitignore

# after bootstrap, you can use ./git_dotfiles which is easier to find than remembering the alias
# to add files:
./git_dotfiles add readme.md -f

#status
./git_dotfiles satus

# check for updates
./git_dotfiles difftool
# the equivalent of 'meld .' is:
./git_dotfiles difftool --dir-diff
# or optionally...

#add updates
./git_dotfiles add -u
./git_dotfiles commit
./git_dotfiles push origin master
