Dotfiles Configuration

My dotfiles configuration uses a bare git repo. This allows the user home directory to keep files in their respective locations without the need for linking.

With this power comes responsibility. NEVER BLANKET ADD aka dotfiles add .

Setup

open terminal

$ cd $HOME

GIT Repo / ZSH

$ git init --bare $HOME/.dotfiles If prompted to, install xcode developer tools

$ alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
$ dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
$ dotfiles remote add origin https://github.com/evanharmon/dotfiles.git
$ dotfiles pull origin master
