# Dotfiles
|
|
The purpose of this directory is to monitor dotfiles via a bare git repository. It is inspired by this https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles blogpost, which in turn was inspired by this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11070797 HN thread.
|
|
The repo has two branches, the main branch I use on Ubuntu distros with an GNOME DE. The arch branch is surprisingly for my minimal arch setup, currently running X11 + openbox + polybar.
|
|
|
|
## Setting up this project initially:
|
|
1. git init --bare $HOME/.cfg
|
|
2. alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME' or echo "alias config='usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'" >> $HOME/.bashrc
|
|
3. config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
|
|
|
|
## Installing on a new system
|
|
While in $HOME
|
|
1. Add the following to .bashrc alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
|
|
2. source .bashrc
|
|
3. echo ".cfg">> .gitignore. This is to prevent potential recursive problems
|
|
4. git clone --bare https://github.com/leoalho/dotfiles.git $HOME/.cfg
|
|
5. Checkout the content to $HOME: config checkout
|
|
6. config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

## .git_aliases
|
|
To use the git aliases in your .gitconfig. Add the following lines to your .gitconfig:
|
|
[include]
|
|
path = ~/.git_aliases, or any other path depending on your $HOME
|
|
|
|
## .bash_aliases
|
|
To use the bash aliases in your .bashrc include the following to your .bashrc
|
|
if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
|
|
. ~/.bash_aliases
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
Also a .bash_prompt file is included that can be included in the same way as the bash_aliases. It provides styling for the prompt
