# dotfiles
Personal dotfiles repository
## Install on a new system
See [Acknowledgements](#Acknowledgements) for tutorial source.
* Prior to the installation, create alias for config
* `alias config="GIT_WORK_TREE=~ GIT_DIR=~/.cfg"`
* Add `.cfg` to `.gitignore`
* `echo ".cfg" >> .gitignore`
* Clone dotfiles into a bare repository
* `git clone --bare <git-repo-url> $HOME/.cfg`
* Define the alias in the current shell scope
* `alias config="GIT_WORK_TREE=~ GIT_DIR=~/.cfg"`
* Checkout content from bare repository to `$HOME`
* `config git checkout`
* Step above might fail with a message like:
* ```
error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by checkout:
.bashrc
.gitignore
Please move or remove them before you can switch branches.
Aborting
```
* Delete `.bashrc` and `.gitignore`
* `rm ~/.bashrc ~/.gitignore`
* Re-run checkout
* `config git checkout`
* Set the flag `showUntrackedFiles` to `no` on this specific (local) repo
* `config git config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no`
