## Start
|
||
|
|
Here is how you start using this setup.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Create a folder ~/.dot which is a bare repository that will track our dotfiles.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Create an alias for git called 'dot' to interact with our dotfile repo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Set a flag to hide files we are not explicitly tracking yet. Which is everything.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add the alias definition to your .bashrc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
git init --bare $HOME/.dot
|
||
|
|
alias dot='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dot/ --work-tree=$HOME'
|
||
|
|
dot config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
|
||
|
|
echo "alias dot='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dot/ --work-tree=$HOME'" >> $HOME/.bashrc
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now add all of your dotfiles. Here is a example.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`dot add .vimrc`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Setup
|
||
|
|
Here is how you can migrate this setup to another system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
git clone --bare https://myrepos.dev/Randy-Jordan/dot.git $HOME/.dot
|
||
|
|
function dot {
|
||
|
|
/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dot/ --work-tree=$HOME $@
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
mkdir -p .dot-backup
|
||
|
|
dot checkout
|
||
|
|
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
|
||
|
|
echo "Checked out dotfiles.";
|
||
|
|
else
|
||
|
|
echo "Backing up pre-existing dot files.";
|
||
|
|
dot checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+\." | awk {'print $1'} | xargs -I{} mv {} .config-backup/{}
|
||
|
|
fi;
|
||
|
|
dot checkout
|
||
|
|
dot config status.showUntrackedFiles no
|
||
|
|
```
