Getting the dotfiles

The repo uses a git bare repo, with it's working directory at $HOME. So cloning the repo properly will setup all files in the correct location, and requires no extra work.

1. add this alias to your .bashrc for easy operation

alias gitdotf='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'

2. ignore repo to avoid some recursion

echo "$HOME/dotfiles" >> .gitignore

3. clone the bare repo, and ignore untracked files

git clone --bare https://github.com/adisubru/dotfiles.git $HOME/dotfiles
gitdotf config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

4. checkout the content to your $HOME directory

gitdotf checkout
