## Dotfiles
#### Creating a dotfile git repo
1. Intialize git and create a folder named ~/.cfg
```bash
git init --bare $HOME/.cfg
```
2. Put this in your .bashrc or .zsh to use `config` as a dotfiles alias.
```bash
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
```
3. Make sure to ignore the folder we're going use to clone.
```bash
echo ".cfg" >> .gitignore
```
4. Set flag to not show untracked files
```bash
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
```
5. Replacing git with our newly created config alias we can version control our
dotfiles.
```bash
config status
config add .bashrc
config commit -m "Added bashrc"
config push
```
#### Installing onto a new system
1. Avoid weird behaviour/recursion issues when .cfg tries to track itself
```bash
echo ".cfg" >> .gitignore
```
2. Clone the repo
```bash
git clone <remote-git-repo-url> $HOME/.cfg
```
3. Set up the alias 'config'
```bash
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=<path to .cfg’s Git directory> --work-tree=$HOME'
```
4. Set local configuration into .cfg to ignore untracked files
```bash
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
```
5. Checkout
```bash
config checkout
```
#### Use submodules to sync other repos into dotfiles
1. Add a submodule to dotfiles
```bash
config submodule add https://github.com/user/dotfiles.git .path/to/dotfiles
```
2. Update submodules to sync to dotfiles
```bash
config submodule update --init --recursive
```
3. Config push
```bash
config push
```

### Basic commands
Intialize a git repository in the root of the folder.
```bash
git init
```
See which files git knows exist.
```bash
git status
```
Add a new file to the repo.
```bash
git add <file>
```
Create a commit with a message about the commit.
```bash
git commit -m <file>
```
Push the changes/commits to our repo.
```bash
git push -u origin main
```
