Setup

• Using bare dotfiles approach documented in: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dotfiles#Tracking_dotfiles_directly_with_Git
• I've modified the approach to be a script and have a custom completer to fix some issues with the completer on the alias

WARNING: This will run my highly opinionated bootstrap script. This is for myself. I suggest not doing this:

curl -fL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/itsjfx/dotfiles/master/lib/bootstrap/run_bootstrap.sh | bash

or (alias to get started)

git init --bare ~/.dotfiles
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'

# this
config remote add origin https://github.com/itsjfx/dotfiles.git
# or this
config remote add origin git@github.com:itsjfx/dotfiles.git

config config status.showUntrackedFiles no
config pull origin master

Note for me:

config config user.name x
config config user.email x
