git pullno need to re-install
If you already have a git repository with your tracked dotfiles:
sdfm git clone <repo path> .sdfm install
If you don't, here is how to initialize it:
sdfm git init- Track some dotfiles with
sdfm track PATH(more explanations here) sdfm git add .sdfm git commit -m 'Initial commit'- Add your favorite remote and push the commit upstream
Tracking files with the storage
The storage is a folder where your dotfiles are moved, the original path is then replaced by a simlink to the storage.
By default this folder is located in $HOME/.sdfm/storage/.
To track your dotfiles you also need to track $HOME/.sdfm/track_file.
Therefore the git repository containing your dotfiles should exist in the $HOME/.sdfm/ directory.
As a helper you can use the sdfm git <git cmd> command to do things like sdfm git add . --patch, the command will run git in the correct directory.
- To track a new file:
sdfm track <your file> - To untrack a file:
sdfm untrack <your file> - To list tracked files:
sdfm list - To update files after pulling the storage:
sdfm install
