installation

clone the repo and checkout

git clone --bare 'https://github.com/zBumblB/dotfiles.git' $HOME/.local/dotfiles

git --git-dir=$HOME/.local/dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME checkout

finishing touches

that's it. the config is installed. the next few sections are not going to change anything, just cleanup a bit.

config status

if you now run config status, you will probably see a bunch of untracked files. if you don't want to see them, just run

config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

you can also filter them with .gitignore. i don't like having .gitignore in my home folder, so i do

config config core.excludesfile ~/.local/.dotignore

repo files

in your home directory, you will see the README.md file. if you don't want it, you can safely delete it.

it will show in config status as deleted. if you don't want that, you can remove it from git index

config update-index --assume-unchanged README.md
