## Usage

To clone the repo to the existing user home directory and preserve other files, I use the following commands

```bash

cd ~ || exit

rm -fr .git

git init

git remote add origin https://github.com/garywei944/eva_arch.git

git config core.excludesFile .eva.gitignore

git fetch --depth=1

git reset --hard origin/main

git branch -m master main

git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/main main

```

## `.gitignore` and `.eva.gitignore`

Some useful file search tools like `rg` or `fd` checks `.gitignore` before they open a subdirectory or read a file to improve performance. But maintaining a regular `.gitignore` file at the user's home directory makes these improvement trivial and useless. So my workaround is to use `.eva.gitignore` instead of `.gitignore` by adding a project level configuration `core.excludesFile`. Note that `git` still response for a `.gitignore` file in every directory.
