dotfiles

This repo contains my dotfiles. I use it to share configs between my computers. I have created the repo using the advice at: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11071754 But later updated to a simpler workflow presented by Drew DeVault on his blog: https://drewdevault.com/2019/12/30/dotfiles.html

Initialization

Create a new repository:

git init
git remote add origin git@github.com:aitva/dotfiles.git
git fetch
git checkout -f master

Add this incredible .gitignore file:

*

To add any new file you need to use git add -f FILE forcing git to override the .gitignore.

Replicate onto a new machine

git init
git remote add origin git@github.com:aitva/dotfiles.git
git fetch
git checkout -f master

Other

To import file from .bashrc.d edit .bashrc and add:

. ~/.bashrc.d/default
. ~/.bashrc.d/go

To import all files under .bashrc.d edit .bashrc and add:

if [ -d "$HOME/.bashrc.d" ]; then
	for f in $HOME/.bashrc.d/*; do
		. $f
	done
