Dotfiles configuration

Following the example provided by StreakyCobra, I'm managing my config using a bare github repo that allows for all tracked files to be version controlled while ignoring untracked files in the $HOME dir.

They key part to all of this is the config alias, make sure to set the alias in .zshrc or .bashrc

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

When copying to a new machine the alias needs to be set again (probably easiest to just add to the .zshrc or .bashrc)

git clone --separate-git-dir=$HOME/.cfg /path/to/repo $HOME/cfg-tmp
rm -r ~/cfg-tmp
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
config config status.showUntrackedFiles no
