DotFiles #

Saving DotFiles to Github

Setup #

Storing dotfiles with a bare git repo

# create folder ~/.cfg as bare repo
git init --bare $HOME/.cfg
# create alias config to interact with git
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
# hide untracked files
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
# add alias to bash profile
echo "alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'" >> $HOME/.bashrc

Git Config #

You can locate/update your git config by running with should be at the path ~/.gitconfig:

git config --global --edit

I like setting an external editor because I'm scared of VIM. You can confirm the installation path of VS Code by running which code

file: .gitconfig
[core]
    editor = 'C:\\Users\\kyle.mitofsky\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Microsoft VS Code\\Code.exe' -n -w

Speed up start times

git config --global core.preloadindex true
git config --global core.fscache true
git config --global gc.auto 256

Also, I have a custom alias for pair to make setting the user info for pair sessions easier

file: .gitconfig

[alias]
    pair = "!f() {                                                           \
