My dotfiles

there are a lot of methods to put dotfile on git link

I use a very simple way, you need only git command :)

The main concept of this method is to use $HOME as workir but put on repo only what you add

git init --bare $HOME/.dotfiles

create a new alias in order to configure git with home as workir

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

ATTENTION hide untracked files to "status" command

dotfile config --local status.showuntrackedfiles no

Perfect, now you can add new files

dotfile add .vimrc
dotfile commit

For pushing on origin/master, remember to change the url with your remote repository

dotfile remote add origin git@github.com:matteogaito/dotfiles.git
dotfile push origin master

Restore dotfiles on new installation

Clone the bare repository

git clone --bare git@github.com:matteogaito/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles

Recover the files

git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME checkout

After this operation you will have again your configurations file and i hope "dotfile" alias command.
