# dotfiles

My personal dotfiles following the [Atlassian bare repo tutorial](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles)

# Setup 

1. Prevent weird recursion problems:

   ```zsh

   echo ".dotcfg" >> $HOME/.gitignore

   ```

2. Clone this dotfile repository into the `.dotcfg` folder of your `$HOME`:

   ```zsh

   git clone --bare [email protected]:snototter/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotcfg

   ```

3. Define the following alias:

   ```zsh

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

   ```

4. TODO `dotconfig checkout` - might fail (need to automate user query + backup)

5. Set repository properties:

   ```zsh

   # Hide untracked files

   dotconfig config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

   # User details

   dotconfig config --local user.name "snototter"

   dotconfig config --local user.email "[email protected]"

   # Set upstream branch

   dotconfig push --set-upstream origin main

   ```

6. Done, now dotfile changes can be simply tracked:

   ```zsh

   dotconfig status

   dotconfig add .bashrc

   dotconfig commit -m "Add bashrc"

   dotconfig push

   ```
