This repository is the collection of configurations that I learned over
time and still use for my daily work. The repository contains configs
files for vim, tmux, zsh and much more. Also if you're on windows or
can't be botherd setting up a new machine, I have created a Dockerfile
container which can be used as a standalone working environment.
Enjoy!!

Before starting the installation, I recommend reading Storing dotfiles with Git to understand how this repository makes the best of Git using --bare.
clone the bare repo into a chosen directory on the system, in this case ~/.dotfiles
git clone --bare git@github.com:auratiger/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles
OR
git clone --bare https://github.com/auratiger/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles
Set an alias linking the ~/.dotfiles repo to the home directory. In this case it is already set in zsh-aliases.zsh
alias dot="/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME"
At this point if you do dot status it will show all divergences of your home and the repo
dotfiles. Here it's safe to either manually backup all your dotfiles, or just
use dot su to show changes without untracked files
dot stash
Which will stash the changes and in practicality will override the current files with the dotfiles
When adding new changes use the dot alu to add all changed files ignoring untracked files
