System Configuration

A work in progress method of managing my common system configuration.

Usage

Adding to a new machine

Clone into a bare repository in $HOME:

git clone --bare https://github.com/ChezCrawford/config.git $HOME/.cfg

Add the alias to the current shell scope:

alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'

Checkout the actual content into $HOME:

config checkout

Hide all the untracked files:

config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
