dotfiles

This is a project created for syncing as much of my MacOS dev machine configuration as possible

Prerequisites

git
- If you intend on checking out this repo using SSH, an SSH key configured and added to your github
On MacOS, brew for package installation

This is based off of Atlassian's bare dotfile repo implementation
Open a shell, and bare clone this repo into the .dotfiles directory
- git clone --bare git@github.com:verhey/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles
Define the following alias in your shell:
- alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
Checkout the content from the bare repo into your home folder:
- dotfiles checkout
- If this fails, delete any dotfiles that may conflict, or back them up
- Try dotfiles checkout again, and you should see the files in the root of this repo end up in your home dir
To make dotfiles status output useful, set local config for this repo to ignore untracked files (as in, the rest of your home dir)
- dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

If you (or another application has modified a dotfile) and you want to update it here, the dotfiles alias you set up in previous steps works just like git does.
- Your status command is somewhat nerfed, because you don't want to be tracking every file in your home directory, but you can still do the following:
