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

Managing dotfiles in a bare Git repository requires a dedicated alias routing commands to a bare repo at ~/personal/.dotfiles using HOME as the work tree. You substitute plain git with the git dotfiles alias to operate on tracked configuration files.
The git dotfiles workflow versions home configuration files by using a bare repository located at ~/personal/.dotfiles with HOME as the work tree. It enables standard Git subcommands and flags against tracked dotfiles by substituting git with git dotfiles.
Yes, you can use standard Git subcommands and flags to modify tracked dotfiles under HOME by substituting plain git with the git dotfiles alias. This routes commands to the bare repository at ~/personal/.dotfiles using HOME as the work tree.
No, the dotfiles bare repo workflow does not affect regular projects with their own .git directories. The workflow clarifies when not to apply the alias, ensuring standard project repositories remain completely unaffected by dotfiles tracking operations.
Setting up a bare repository for dotfiles management requires a bare repo at ~/personal/.dotfiles, a configured --git-dir and --work-tree pointing to HOME, and the git dotfiles alias to route commands. These components establish the bare repo dotfiles workflow.
