managing all your dotfiles can be tedious. Keep them in a bare git repository from where you can easily retrieve them when installing the new system. First, create a bare dotfile repository:
git init --bare $HOME/dotfiles
Add this alias to the .bashrc:
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
Run some basic configuration in terminal:
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
Basic usage example:
config add /path/to/dotfile
config commit -m "Short message"
config push
