I followed [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVls1GmFKf6WlTraIb_IaJg][DistroTube]]'s process for setting up a git bare repository as shown in [[https://youtu.be/tBoLDpTWVOM][Git Bare Repository - A Better Way To Manage Dotfiles]].
I previously used [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVls1GmFKf6WlTraIb_IaJg][DistroTube]]'s process for setting up a git bare repository as shown in [[https://youtu.be/tBoLDpTWVOM][Git Bare Repository - A Better Way To Manage Dotfiles]].
He references [[https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles][The best way to store your dotfiles: A bare Git repository]] by [[https://www.durdn.com/][Nicola Paolucci]].
I have since switched to using [[https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/][GNU Stow]] as described in [[https://www.youtube.com/c/SystemCrafters][System Crafters]]' video called [[https://youtu.be/CxAT1u8G7is][Give Your Dotfiles a Home with GNU Stow]].
