About

This repo versions my git configuration so that I can easily replicate my git settings across all computers. And setting up a new computer for development is fast.

It works by creating a symlink from the user's home directory to the versioned gitconfig file which has aliases and settings I like (e.g. autorebasing on pull). The gitignore_global ignores compiled source files, packages, logs, databases, and OS and Vim-generated files.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/davidxia/git-config.git ~/.git-config
ln -s ~/.git-config/gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
ln -s ~/.git-config/gitignore_global ~/.gitignore_global

If you are not David Xia, make sure to change the name and email address in gitconfig.
