dots

A bare repo resembling your $HOME

Usage

Clone to a temporary directory:

git clone --separate-git-dir=$HOME/dots.git \
    https://github.com/mvllow/dots.git \
    dots-tmp

Copy working tree snapshot to the home directory, then delete the temporary directory:

rsync --recursive --verbose --exclude '.git' dots-tmp/ $HOME/
rm -rf dots-tmp

Optionally, add an alias to use git with this new structure:

alias .git='git --git-dir=$HOME/dots.git/ --work-tree=$HOME'

Optionally, hide untracked files—you will have to manually add new files:

.git config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

Change upstream from https to ssh:

.git remote set-url origin [email protected]:mvllow/dots.git
