Home

Holds my home directory and accompanying dotfiles as a Git repository.

Initial setup

To install into a new home, take the following steps:

• Set up the staging directory.

  name=MACHINE_NAME
  cd ~
  git clone https://github.com/abhinav/home home-int
  (cd home-int && git checkout -b $name)

• Turn $HOME into a Git repository.

  cd ~
  git init -b $name

• Check out the repository in $HOME without adding the staging repository as a remote. Resolve any conflicts.

  git fetch ~/home-int
  git reset FETCH_HEAD

• Add $HOME as a remote to the staging repository.

  cd home-int
  git remote add local ~
  git fetch local

• Change denyCurrentBranch in $HOME to be able to push to it from the staging repository.

  git config receive.denyCurrentBranch updateInstead

Machine-specific setup

Install GNU Stow and inside the sys/ directory, run:

cd sys
stow $system

Where $system is the kind of system.
