What problem does it solve?

Versioning and coordinating dotfiles that live in a bare Git repository with HOME as the work tree is error-prone with plain Git; this guide provides a dedicated workflow to manage those files using a specialized dotfiles path and alias.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides a dedicated alias to operate on a bare repository located at ~/personal/.dotfiles, using HOME as the work tree.
  • Enables using the same Git commands (subcommands, flags) against tracked dotfiles by substituting git with git dotfiles.
  • Clarifies when not to apply this workflow, ensuring regular projects with their own .git/ repositories remain unaffected.

Quick Start

Run the dotfiles alias for all operations on tracked HOME files instead of plain git.
