Dotfiles

This repository contains my personal dotfiles. These dotfiles are managed using a bare Git repository.

Installation

To install the dotfiles, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone --bare https://github.com/ViniciusNyp/dotfiles $HOME/.dotfiles

2. Define an alias for the dotfiles repository:

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

3. Configure the dotfiles repository to not show untracked files:

   dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

4. Checkout the dotfiles:

   dotfiles checkout

   If you encounter any errors, make sure your home directory is clean and try again.

5. Set up the dotfiles repository to track the remote branch:

   dotfiles branch --set-upstream-to=origin/main main

6. Pull the latest changes:

   dotfiles pull
