Repository Configuration

The setup used to store my dotfiles was taken from https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles. I changed the location to minimize dotfiles in $HOME. I also changed the alias from config to dots to avoid ambiguity like config config. If you are doing this for the first time, run:

git init --bare $HOME/.config/dotfiles
echo 'alias dots='"'"'git --git-dir=$HOME/.config/dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'"'"'' >> $HOME/.bashrc
bash # Apply the alias
dots config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

To clone this repository or any repository using this setup, run:

git clone --bare https://github.com/imsamuka/dotfiles $HOME/.config/dotfiles

# Then ignore untracked files:
cd $HOME/.config/dotfiles; git config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no; cd -

# Then run the solution below to ignore README.md files

# Then "Import" all the folders and files:
git --git-dir=$HOME/.config/dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME checkout

# Then properly add your alias or:
echo 'source $HOME/.scripts/myshell.sh' >> $HOME/.bashrc

To ignore the README.md from being pulled, I implemented this solution https://stackoverflow.com/a/38408296. Essentially doing this:

cd ~/.config/dotfiles
git config core.sparsecheckout true
echo '/*' >| ./info/sparse-checkout
echo '!**/README.md' >> ./info/sparse-checkout
cd -
