## Usage
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.
