# Dotfiles
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Setup & Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Create a directory that'll act as the bare git directory, then initialize it using `$HOME` as the working tree.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
mkdir $HOME/.dotfiles
|
||
|
|
git init --bare $HOME/.dotfiles
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To manage it, use `GIT_DIR` and `GIT_WORK_TREE`. Preferably as an alias.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
alias dotfiles="GIT_DIR=$HOME/.dotfiles GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From there, prefix `dotfiles` to any commands that recognize these variables.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
# Git
|
||
|
|
dotfiles git add .zshrc
|
||
|
|
dotfiles git status
|
||
|
|
# VS Codium
|
||
|
|
dotfiles codium
|
||
|
|
# ...
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hide untracked files from `dotfiles git status`, otherwise everything in `$HOME` will show up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
dotfiles git config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For VS Codium, create `$HOME/.vscode/settings.json`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"git.untrackedChanges": "hidden"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Subtleties
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Can't add files from git repositories
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, since `.oh-my-zsh` is a git repository, files inside `.oh-my-zsh/custom` can't be added. But since they're just scripts like any other, place them directly inside `$HOME` (or anywhere else) and `source <file>` them in `.zshrc` manually.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Another solution is to set `$ZSH_CUSTOM` to something outside the `$ZSH` directory.
