 `shallow-backup` makes this easy! After making your first backup, `cd` into the `dotfiles/` directory and run `$ git init`. Create a `.gitignore` and a new repo on your favorite version control platform. This repo will be maintained independently (manually) of the base `shallow-backup` repo. Note that you may need to use the `-separate_dotfiles_repo` flag to get this to work, and it may [break some other functionality of the tool](https://github.com/alichtman/shallow-backup/issues/229). It's ok for my use case, though.
 
-Here's a `bash` script that I wrote to automate my dotfile backup workflow. You can use this by placing it in your `~/.zshrc` or `~/.bashrc`, sourcing the file, and then running `$ backup-dots`.

 ### What can I back up?
