My dotfiles

Steps to create:

1. Create a git bare repo

   git init --bare $HOME/dotfiles
   

2. Create an alias for git to always execute git commands relative to $HOME Put commands in .bashrc or .zshrc

   alias dot='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
   

3. Set git config so we won't list other $HOME files

   dot config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
   

Steps on how to use (i.e, on other PC or after fresh install):

1. Follow the exact same steps above

2. Add remote repo as origin

   dot remote add origin https://github.com/chan-dev/dotfiles.git
   

   If there are any conflicts, make sure to backup the files first -- for example, it conflicts with current .bashrc. Then backup by cp ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc-old

   By default,newly installed neovim don't have user configuration under ~/.config, if this results in a conflict feel free to remove .config/nvim in your system especially if you're using a customized neovim such as LunarVim.
