My personal set of linux configuration files
- I use yadm for managing my dotfiles. It's a wrapper for git, plus it will symlink the files for you.
- If you want to make your own dotfiles, have a look at http://dotfiles.github.io
To view changes with vscode's diff editor
- Create a symlink from
~/.config/yadm/repo.git
to~/.git
. This tells vs code know that it's viewing a git repository. - Temporarily rename
.gitignore.dev
to.gitignore
. This file hides most of the home directory from vs code's git integration. - Open the home directory in vs code.
Note: When adding a file to git, you must a) edit the gitignore to include that file (!foo.txt
), and b) use the-f|--force
flag when runninggit add foo.txt
