Getting Started

Follow the below setup. This will enable us to easily manage our dotfiles using git. For example once setup we can run git commands as such dotfiles status, dotfiles add <file>, dotfiles commit.

git clone --bare https://github.com/rdforte/.dotfiles $HOME/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
dotfiles checkout

If you already have some of the dotfiles present, you will see a similar error.

error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by checkout:
 .bashrc
Please move or remove them before you switch branches.
Aborting

Remove or backup any collisions and repeat the checkout.
