# PSGitDotfiles
[](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSGitDotfiles)
A simple Git-based dotfiles approach.
## What is it?
[This approach](https://developer.atlassian.com/blog/2016/02/best-way-to-store-dotfiles-git-bare-repo/) is based on using a bare Git repository in your home directory and an alias to make it easy to work with that repository.
## How do I use it?
### Installation
Use PowershellGet to install from PowerShell Gallery.
```powershell
Install-Module -Name PSGitDotfiles
```
### Starting from scratch
```powershell
# The Uri can be ommitted if you want to add the remote later (or don't plan to use one)
Initialize-GitDotfiles -Uri 'https://github.com/username/dotfiles.git'
# You can use "dot" instead of "Invoke-GitDotfiles"
Invoke-GitDotfiles add .gitconfig
Invoke-GitDotfiles add .atom/config.cson
Invoke-GitDotfiles commit -m 'adding first files'
Invoke-GitDotfiles push -u origin master
```
### Copying to another computer
```powershell
Install-GitDotfiles -Uri 'https://github.com/username/dotfiles.git'
```
### Removing the repo
```powershell
Uninstall-GitDotfiles
```
