Dot Files Git Bare Repo Notes

Reference: [https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles]

Install dotfiles onto a new system

  1. Add this alias to your .bashrc.
    alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'

  2. Tell git to ignore .cfg
    echo ".cfg" > .gitignore

  3. Clone your dotfiles repo
    git clone --bare <git-repo-url> $HOME/.cfg

  4. Checkout the actual content from the bare repo to your $HOME.
    config checkout

  5. Tell git to not show untracked files
    config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

Automatic script

git clone --bare https://github.com/ssharpjr/cfg.git $HOME/.cfg function config { /usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME $@ } mkdir -p .config-backup config checkout if [ $? = 0 ]; then echo "Checked out config."; else echo "Backing up pre-existing dot files."; config checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+." | awk {'print $1'} | xargs -I{} mv {} .config-backup/{} fi; config checkout config config status.showUntrackedFiles no
