Personal dotfiles repository
|

|
||||
## Install on a new system
|
||||
|
||||
See [Acknowledgements](#Acknowledgements) for tutorial source.
|
||||
|
||||
* Prior to the installation, create alias for config
|
||||
* `alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'`
|
||||
* Add `.cfg` to `.gitignore`
|
||||
* `echo ".cfg" >> .gitignore`
|
||||
* Clone dotfiles into a bare repository
|
||||
* `git clone --bare <git-repo-url> $HOME/.cfg`
|
||||
* Define the alias in the current shell scope
|
||||
* `alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'`
|
||||
* Checkout content from bare repository to `$HOME`
|
||||
* `config 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 checkout`
|
||||
* Set the flag `showUntrackedFiles` to `no` on this specific (local) repo
|
||||
* `config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no`
|
||||

I followed [DistroTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVls1GmFKf6WlTraIb_IaJg)'s process for setting up a git bare repository as shown in [Git Bare Repository - A Better Way To Manage Dotfiles](https://youtu.be/tBoLDpTWVOM).
