You can manage work dotfiles separately by using a dedicated bare git repository to track work-specific configurations, preventing cross-contamination with personal settings while enabling reliable synchronization across devices.

When pulling remote work dotfiles changes, the workflow enforces a yadm-work process that includes status checks and structured conflict resolution steps to safely merge and update configurations across devices.

A bare git repository for dotfiles management isolates configuration tracking without a standard working directory, needed when you want to maintain separate work-specific and personal configurations on the same machine.

Yes, the yadm-work workflow specifically maintains the work dotfiles repository at Spotify GHE, supporting push and pull operations to synchronize configurations with the remote private server.

The best way to isolate work dotfiles is using a dedicated bare repository with a yadm-work workflow, which adds, removes, and tracks configurations independently from your personal dotfiles setup.

An initial setup is required to clone the bare repository and check out files to your home directory, establishing the yadm-work workflow before you can commit updates or resolve merge conflicts.
