Setup

Setting up the bare repository

git init --bare $HOME/.cfg
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
echo "alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'" >> $HOME/.bashrc

Adding new files

config status
config add .vimrc
config commit -m 'chore: add .vimrc'
config add .bashrc
config commit -m 'chore: add .bashrc'
config push

New Setup

Prior to installation, setup the alias:

alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

Ensure your source repository ignores the folder where you'll clone it, so that you don't create weird recursion problems.

echo ".cfg" >> .gitignore

Clone the dotfiles:

git clone --bare <git-repo-url> $HOME/.cfg

Checkout the actual content from the bare repository to your home (also ensure those files doesn't already exists):

config checkout

# Script to remove existing files
mkdir -p .config-backup && \
config checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+\." | awk {'print $1'} | \
xargs -I{} mv {} .config-backup/{}

Useful script

git clone --bare https://bitbucket.org/durdn/cfg.git $HOME/.cfg
function config {
   /usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME $@
}
mkdir -p .config-backup
config checkout
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
  echo "Checked out config.";
  else
    echo "Backing up pre-existing dot files.";
    config checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+\." | awk {'print $1'} | xargs -I{} mv {} .config-backup/{}
fi;
config checkout
config config status.showUntrackedFiles no
