.myconf.notes

When looking around for program to store dotfiles, I came accross a hackernews comment
that suggested setting up a git repo in a directory called .myconf where we can access 
the git repo using the alias "config". The following is an exerpt from the hacker news 
post:

I use:

    git init --bare $HOME/.myconf
    alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.myconf/ --work-tree=$HOME'
    config config status.showUntrackedFiles no

where my ~/.myconf directory is a git bare repository. Then any file within the home 
folder can be versioned with normal commands like:

    config status
    config add .vimrc
    config commit -m "Add vimrc"
    config add .config/redshift.conf
    config commit -m "Add redshift config"
    config push

And so one…

No extra tooling, no symlinks, files are tracked on a version control system, you can 
use different branches for different computers, you can replicate you configuration 
easily on new installation.
