End up with .git in my home directory

[stuaxo]

I end up with a .git symlinked to Dotfiles/.git this isn't a feature I'm keen on and want to keep the repo separate from the home directory.

Would you consider excluding .git when symlinking by default ?

dotfiles version is v0.6.4

Hi Stuart, that's definitely not supposed to happen. I don't see this behaviour here, are you able to give some steps to reproduce this?

That's a good question, I haven't quite worked it out yet, just that I managed it multiple times.

Sorry - not a great bug report yet!

I am still using the version from pip, so I should probably swap to master I guess anyway ?

For now I'll close this until I can actually reproduce it... I thought I'd give you a headsup even though I'm not quite sure how it happened, since I've done it a few times, just not sure what I've been doing.

Ok, I haven't looked at this code in a very long time, but maybe this can be a reminder to make some updates.

In the past I've made bugs my own code when I'm joining paths and some presumption isn't right (e.g. subtract some path and add another).

My setup -

Dotfiles is a symlink to ~/projects/mine/dotfiles

What I was doing

In the home directory, the Dotfiles directory and at least one other directory:

Ran

dotfiles -c
and
dotfiles -s

(Mostly because I couldn't remember which flag was which).

I have .git in my list of files to ignore.
