## Usage ## Usage
Just copy and paste, or follow the guide below. Just copy and paste, or follow the guide below.
If you're starting out as root, do not login as user until you've altered /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults
[For example](https://myrepos.dev/Randy-Jordan/eg), you can see the [custom configuration](https://myrepos.dev/Randy-Jordan/eg/src/branch/main/xdg/custom_user-dirs), or the [default](https://myrepos.dev/Randy-Jordan/eg/src/branch/main/xdg/user-dirs.defaults).
Once complete, assign the appropriate privileges, and login as the user. Run the command:
`git init --bare $HOME/.dot` To create our config folder.<br>
`alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dot/ --work-tree=$HOME' To set an alias to interact with our config.<br>
`config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no` So every file in $HOME is not tracked, just the ones we add.<br>
`echo "alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dot/ --work-tree=$HOME'" >> $HOME/.bashrc` Adds the alias to our bashrc.
TODO: Set up script to pipe into bash for convenience.
