## Installation
Install essential console tools:
```bash
sudo apt install git tmux curl vim autojump apt-file inotify-tools \
aria2 ripgrep pgcli fswatch fzf shellcheck hub hyperfine flatpak \
python-is-python3 gcc automake autoconf pipx gettext htop httpie \

```
Only if Rust and Cargo are available:

cargo install hgrep
```
Install essential graphical tools:

gnome-browser-connector gnome-shell-extension-manager meld
```
Setup the alias:
```bash
alias hgit='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
```
Clone the repository:
```bash
hgit clone --bare [email protected]:kianmeng/dotfiles.git $HOME/.cfg
```
Backup all your existing dotfiles, if any (not needed for fresh install):
```bash
mkdir -p .config-backup && \
config checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+\." | awk {'print $1'} | \
xargs -I{} mv {} .config-backup/{}
```
Pull all dotfiles:
```bash
hgit checkout
```
Reload Bash and install all the necessary packages:
```bash
source ~/.bashrc

To manage these dot files, just use the `hgit` alias which is a wrapper to
`git`.
