Collection of all of my dotfiles and configuration
This backup strategy is collected from here
Run the following (I would probably put that alias in an rc)
git init --bare $HOME/.myconf
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.myconf/ --work-tree=$HOME'
config config status.showUntrackedFiles no
Then treat config as an alias for git, with the directories being relative to ~/
config add .vimrc
config commit -m "added .vimrc
Cloning to a non-empty home directly will fail. The following commands provide a solution to that problem by cloning to a temporary directory first and then moving the files.
git clone --separate-git-dir=$HOME/.myconf https://github.com/Wojonatior/dotfiles.git $HOME/myconf-tmp
cp ~/myconf-tmp/.gitmodules ~ # If you use Git submodules
rm -r ~/myconf-tmp/
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.myconf/ --work-tree=$HOME'
