How these dotfiles are maintained

To maintain these dotfiles I created a bare git repository following Atlassian's Tutorial

1. Create a .config file - which is a bare Git repository - that will track the dotfiles.

git init --bare $HOME/.cfg

2. Create a config alias that is used to specifically interact with the dotfiles repository.

alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'

3. Set a flag to hide the files we are not explicitly tracking

config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

4. Add the alias definition to your .bashrc or use this line provided for convenience.

echo "alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'" >> $HOME/.bashrc

These dotfiles can then my updated using git, but by using the config command

config status
config add .vimrc
config commit -m "Add vimrc"
config add .bashrc
config commit -m "Add bashrc"
config push
