dotfiles and submodules
This is not planned to be viewed by anyone, but I need this repo to be public and also it doesn't hurt to have a "Hello" sign in my front door.
Hellow fellow human.
If you are reading this you probably know what you are looking for. If not: this repository is to store my dotfiles using a git bare-repo technique for tracking changes. See below for details.
Currently I'm using this method to do the dotfiles tracking:

I discovered it on Derek's DistroTube Youtube Channel a couple of months ago:

Thanks Derek!
I thought about using GNU Stow, but Atlassian's seems simpler to use.
You can check the bin/deploy bash script and all the aliases regarding
'home' in .bash/aliases to get an idea of how to use them. It's everything
written in Bash.
If you find this helpful, give me a million dollars - lol.
Enjoy.
Obviously I can't guarantee that any of this is secure, but I can tell you I use it every day and the main source of problems is me when I screw things up; good thing we have git around to save us.
Happy hacking.
