windows dotfiles

Setup

https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles

use nushell to run these commands

• Prior to the installation make sure that your source repository ignores the folder where you'll clone it, so that you don't create weird recursion problems:

'.dotfiles' o> .gitignore

• Now clone your dotfiles into a bare repository in a "dot" folder of your $HOME:

git clone --bare [email protected]:sibouras/windotfiles.git $"($env.USERPROFILE)\\.dotfiles"

• Define the alias in the current shell scope:

alias winconfig = git $"--git-dir=($env.USERPROFILE)\\.dotfiles" $"--work-tree=($env.USERPROFILE)"

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

winconfig checkout

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

winconfig config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
