# 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 {} ${BKDIR}{}";
dotfiles checkout
```
## Other Tools
```
lazygit --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME
```
# Install recent versions of applications
## 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.
## lazygit
```
go install github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit@latest
```
