# My Dotfiles using a bare git repository

## Setup repository and worktree

```bash
git init --bare $HOME/.dotfiles
alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
# ideally place the alias into your shells alias file
dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
dotfile add [...]
dotfiles commit [...]
# Setup remote git repository
dotfiles push
```

## Install / restore dotfiles

```bash
echo ".dotfiles" >> .gitignore
git clone --bare <remote-git-repo-url> $HOME/.dotfiles
alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
