This repository contains most of my home directory setup, documented for my own ease of replication. I may occasionally rewrite history of this repository and force push.
I manage my dotfiles with git through the bare repository and alias method:
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'This method avoids symlinks and confusions that arise with git directories that reside inside the $HOME directory.
