Personal Dotfiles

Configuration Files for a Custom Development Environment

About The Project

This repository contains my personal dotfiles, which are used to configure my development environment. These dotfiles include settings and configurations for various tools and applications that I use on a daily basis.

Getting Started

To set up your environment with these dotfiles, follow the instructions below.

Prerequisites

• Git

Setup

To initialise the dotfiles repository in your home directory and set up Git to manage your dotfiles, use the following commands:

git init --bare $HOME/dotfiles
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
config add <file>  # Replace <file> with the specific dotfile you want to track
config commit -m "Initial commit"
config push

Update

To update your local dotfiles from the repository, use:

config pull

New System

To set up your dotfiles on a new system, follow these steps:

git clone --bare git@github.com:CarterFaceySmith/dotfiles.git $HOME/dotfiles
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
config checkout
