.config's Introduction

Install config onto a new system

Prior to the installation, make sure you have sourced the following function:

function config {
    /usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.config.git --work-tree=$HOME "$@"
}

On Windows, execute the following inside cmd.exe instead:

doskey config=git --git-dir=%USERPROFILE%/.config.git --work-tree=%USERPROFILE% $*

Clone your config into a bare repository under $HOME:

git clone --bare [email protected]:simonratner/.config.git

Checkout the actual content from the bare repository to your $HOME:

config checkout
config submodule update --init --recursive

The step above might fail with a message like:

error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by checkout:
    .bashrc
Please move or remove them before you can switch branches.
Aborting

This is because your $HOME folder might already have some stock configuration files which would be overwritten by Git. The solution is simple: back up the files if you care about them, remove them if you don't care.

Set the flag showUntrackedFiles to no on this specific (local) repository:

config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
