My Dotfiles

this repository contains my dotfiles configurations. Created based on this article. After installed just use config as git and update/add, commit and push any file to track on your repo.

Installation

  • Add the following alias to your .bashrc or .zshrc command first:
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
  • Create a gitignore to avoid recursive problems:
echo ".dotfiles" >> .gitignore
  • Clone de project as bare:
git clone --bare <git-repo-url> $HOME/.dotfiles
  • Create the alias to use as "config" in your .bashrc or .zshrc:
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
  • Execute the checkout to bring the files:
config checkout

Errors on Checkout

An error can show up when some duplicated files exist like .zshrc, the following steps make a backup for you review after if something need to be updated, or just move or delete the files.

mkdir -p .config-backup && \
config checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+\." | awk {'print $1'} | \
xargs -I{} mv {} .config-backup/{}

After that just execute the checkout again

  • After the checkout works set this flag to hide untracked files:
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
  • Init private submodules
config submodule init
config submodule update
