Jack's dotfiles

Usage

The default branch contains only this README. Different branches represent configurations that are incompatible with each other. The following branches are currently maintained and are subject to change:

• base - Base configuration for all other configurations.

Install

If you are interested in just taking a look at the repository, a normal git clone will suffice. However, if you want to install the dotfiles, use the following commands:

Clone the .git directory as a subdirectory

git clone --bare <repo-url> ~/.dotfiles

Install the dotfiles

git config --global alias.dotfiles '!git --git-dir="$HOME/.dotfiles/" --work-tree="$HOME"' # Specify where the .git is and where to checkout to
git --git-dir="$HOME/.dotfiles" config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no               # Don't flood status with all of $HOME
git dotfiles checkout                                                                      # Checkout the dotfiles

Switch to the desired branch

git dotfiles switch <branch_name>

To interact with the dotfiles git, prefix all commands with git dotfiles.

Examples:

• git dotfiles switch base
• git dotfiles status
• git dotfiles log
