🌱 Dotfiles — Ricky Nelson

Configuration files for my development environment using a Git bare repo strategy.

---

🧰 Installation

git clone --bare git@github.com:socketwiz/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles

Add this function to your shell config (.zshrc or .bashrc):

function git() {
  # Check if you're inside a regular git repo
  if git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree > /dev/null 2>&1; then
    command git "$@"
  else
    # Use the dotfiles repository when outside another git repo
    /usr/bin/git --git-dir="$HOME/.dotfiles" --work-tree="$HOME" "$@"
  fi
}

Then run:

git checkout

🔐 Secret Management

Secrets like API keys are stored in files excluded from Git:

~/.zshenv.local

Sourced via:

[[ -f ~/.zshenv.local ]] && source ~/.zshenv.local

🧠 Philosophy

Keep only what you need. Track only what you trust. Automate the rest.
