# Bare Git Repository

##  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
```

## Install into `/etc/skel`

```
sudo mkdir -p /etc/skel/.dotfiles
sudo chown $(whoami) /etc/skel

git clone --bare $(dotfiles remote -v | head -1 | cut -f2 | cut -f1 -d' ') /etc/skel/.dotfiles

alias skelfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=/etc/skel/.dotfiles --work-tree=/etc/skel'
skelfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
skelfiles 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
```

# Install remotes as subtree

- https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/git-subtree
- Create an alias for remote repository
  - `dotfiles remote add <remote-name> <URL>`
- Import remote as a single commit (squashed)
  - `dotfiles subtree add --prefix <target-folder> <remote-name> <branch> --squash
  - Note 1: Must be called from $HOME
  - Note 2: Do not start <target-folder> with $HOME or ~

# Install recent versions of applications

## Generic Tips

### Github Patches

From [stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28484186/apply-github-commit-pull-request-as-a-patch).

```
wget https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/pull/2604.patch
git apply --stat --apply 2604.patch
```


## Fonts

- [How to install and manage fonts on Linux](https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-and-manage-fonts-on-linux)
  - `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

- [Nerd Fonts](https://www.nerdfonts.com/)
  - [Download](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tags)
    - NerdFontsSymbolsOnly.tar.xz
  - [Cheat Sheet](https://www.nerdfonts.com/cheat-sheet)
  - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/master/bin/scripts/test-fonts.sh


## kitty

- https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/binary/
- Install `JetBrains Mono` (without NF) & `NerdFontsSymbolsOnly` fonts.
  - Note: outside of kitty, it may be interesting to also install
    _JetBrains Mono_ *with* _NF_.

```
sudo apt-get install kitty-terminfo
(kitty --version && curl https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/changelog/ | html2text) | less
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.

- Archives Management:
  - bsdtar (`libarchive-tools`) supports _Zstd_
  - [fuse-archive](https://github.com/google/fuse-archive)

- Trash:
  - `trash-cli` is a much better CLI-only solution!
    Compare the outputs of `trash-cli` and `gio trash --list`…
  - For `gio trash`, packages `libglib2.0` & `gvfs` are recommended.
