Gregory's Server@adamw @b0rk @angermcs i do this - dot files on git
i use it to sync .zshrc, .ssh/config, .gitconfig, .tmux.conf, Brewfile, and a few other app configs
it's one of the reasons i feel more comfortable experimenting with changes on my shell and git configurations lately
having the files publicly on github is just for sharing with others; i like to see what others are aliasing or writing functions for
@adamw @b0rk @angermcs to apply the files i do the following
1. git clone --bare <repo url> .dotfiles
2. alias dotfiles='git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
3. dotfiles checkout
4. source ~/.zshrc
1. creates a bare clone
2. creates an alias for working with you dot files repository - good idea to also put this same alias in .zshrc
3. actually checkout the files from the repo, if you have issues here you may need to stash before checking out
4. source the shell configuration
