Install dotfiles onto a new system

Prior to the installation make sure you have committed the alias to your .bashrc or .zsh:

alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'

And that your source repository ignores the folder where you'll clone it, so that you don't create weird recursion problems:

echo ".dotfiles" >> .gitignore

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

git clone --bare <git-repo-url> $HOME/.dotfiles

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

dotfiles checkout

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

config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
