+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).
+He references [The best way to store your dotfiles: A bare Git repository](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles) by [Nicola Paolucci](https://www.durdn.com/).
