# How to
|
|
|
|
I'm able to manage my dotfiles using Git thanks to a thing called a bare git
|
|
repo. It basically means that you can place the Git directory anywhere,
|
|
allowing you to specify the work tree using a command line parameter. It's
|
|
pretty easy to set up:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# This initializes the repo
|
|
# I personally use ~/.cfg as the .git folder, but you can change this to
|
|
whatever you want
|
|
git init --bare "$HOME/.cfg"
|
|
|
|
# For convenience, it's best to define an alias
|
|
# Don't forget to replace the '$HOME/.cfg' if you're using another directory.
|
|
alias dots="git --git-dir='$HOME/.cfg' --work-tree='$HOME'"
|
|
|
|
# Then, when you wish to add a dotfile, you just use the alias
|
|
# This works from anywhere in the file system
|
|
dots add yourdotfile
|
|
|
|
# You can check the status just like any other repo
|
|
dots status
|
|
|
|
# Don't forget to add your remote
|
|
dots remote add origin yourremote
|
|
|
|
# And then, you can commit and push!
|
|
dots commit -m "Bare repos are cool"
|
|
dots push
|
|
|
|
# It's a git repo, that's all it is
|
|
```
