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
