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:

# 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
