@hoshino's Dotfiles

Installing Dotfiles on a New System

Prior to the installation make sure you have committed the alias to your .bashrc or .zsh:

alias dots='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dots/ --work-tree=$HOME'

and make sure your source repository ignores the folder where you'll clone it, so that you don't create weird recursion problems:

echo ".dots" >> .gitignore

Now, clone your dotfiles into a bare repository in a "dot" folder of your $HOME:

git clone --bare git@github.com:hoshino/dots.git $HOME/.dots

Define the alias in the current shell scope:

alias dots='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dots/ --work-tree=$HOME'

Checkout the actual content from the bare repository to your $HOME:

dots checkout

Set the flag showUntrackedFiles to no on this specific (local) repository:

dots config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
