dotfiles

I got this guide and idea from https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles.

Installation of dotfiles:

• Prior to the installation make sure you have committed the alias to your .bashrc or .zshrc:

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

• And that your source repository ignores the folder where you'll clone it, so that you don't create weird recursion problems:

echo ".cfg" >> .gitignore

• Now clone your dotfiles into a bare repository in a "dot" folder of your $HOME:

git clone --bare git@github.com:armytrong/dotfiles.git $HOME/.cfg.git

• Define the alias in the current shell scope:

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

• Checkout the actual content from the bare repository:

config checkout
