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, you can see the custom configuration, or the default.

Once complete, assign the appropriate privileges, and login as the user. Run the command:

git init --bare $HOME/.dot To create our config folder.
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dot/ --work-tree=$HOME To set an alias to interact with our config.
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no So every file in $HOME is not tracked, just the ones we add.
echo "alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dot/ --work-tree=$HOME'" >> $HOME/.bashrc Adds the alias to our bashrc.

TODO: Set up script to pipe into bash for convenience.
