Léo-21's Dotfiles

Hi ! These are my dotfiles for my different configurations. Every branch is a different configuration, apart from the main branch, which holds the README.md file you're currently reading.

Each branch is named following this format : [OS]-[Window Manager/Desktop environment]-[Laptop or Desktop PC]

Installation

This repo is designed to works with git bare repositories, and I could make it work thanks to this guide by Atlassian.

Then follow those steps in your home directory:

• Choose the branch you want to install.

• Create an alias/abbreviation in your current shell (this step may vary depending on which shell you're using. If you use bash or zsh :

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

• Create a .gitignore file to avoid weird recursion problems :

  echo ".dotfiles" >> .gitignore

• Clone the branch you want into a bare repository :

  git clone --bare --branch <the branch you chose> --single-branch $HOME/.dotfiles
  

• Using the alias you created, checkout the content of the repository :

  dotfiles checkout
  

  If this last step fails with an error, make sure there's no configuration files in your home directory which would be overwritten by Git
