dotfiles

These are my dotfiles managed via the methodology described in this HN thread:

Workflow

Configs that apply to all systems will exist in the master branch.

create a branch for any config that is different on a specific computer. for any global change, do it in master and then 'git merge master'

For local configs, do it on the computer specific branch.

Put all configs in master, but if they shouldn't or don't need to exist on a computer, delete them in that computer's branch.

To bootstrap on a new system:

curl -Lks https://git.io/fjB0R | sh

Generally we rebase branches, so need to be careful about which changes happen in those branches.

Useful commands:

Create a new breanch for the local config

	dot checkout -b arch-server

Push the new branch upstream

	dot push origin/arch-server

Revert file to state in master

	dot checkout master <file>

Main workflow, for any file that exists on all computers, edit on master

dot checkout master
# do edits
dot checkout arch-server
dot merge master

List all files currently tracked

dot ls-tree --full-tree -r --name-only HEAD
# or just use dotls alias
dotls
