# Bare Git Repository

- https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles
- StreakyCobra

##  Starting from scratch

```
git init --bare $HOME/.dotfiles
alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME'
dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
```

## Install onto a new system

The `checkout` command is expected to fail with a message.
This is because your $HOME folder might already have some stock configuration
files which would be overwritten by Git.
The “BKDIR” part is a rough shortcut to move all the offending files
automatically to a backup folder:

```
git clone --bare <git-repo-url> $HOME/.dotfiles

alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME'

dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

BKDIR=".dotfiles-backup/";
dotfiles checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+" | awk {'print $1'} |
  xargs -I{} sh -c "mkdir -p \$(dirname ${BKDIR}{}); mv -iv {} ${BKDIR}{}";

dotfiles checkout
```

## Useful Commands

- List all tracked files (from CWD):  
  `dotfiles ls-tree --name-only -rz main | xargs -0 $(whence lsd) -lU`

## Other Tools

```
lazygit --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME
```

  - `mv folder ~/.fonts`
  - `fc-cache -fv ~/.fonts`

- [JetBrains Mono](https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/)
  - Install the files **without “NL”** (i.e No Ligatures) in their names

## kitty

- https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/binary/

```
sudo apt-get install kitty-terminfo
sh ~/.config/kitty/installer.sh
```

**Note**:
Kitty prepends its _bin_ folder to the path.
So it is more coherent/simpler to copy this behaviour into Zsh.
