Setting up a git bare repository on Linux -- [ tutorial ]

[@MikeWasylik]

This is the best single explanation I’ve seen yet for using a bare repo to track dot files. Thanks for the clear, concise, and complete explanation.

[@JakeLinux]

Thank you for the kind words, I'm Glad you enjoyed it,

@@JakeLinux even better-I got it all working tonight. Thanks again.

Thanks for this tutorial! DistroTube did one several years ago and although DT's a good teacher, I'm not sure he explained it terribly well. This takes you through it step by step, which I need because I'm a visual learner.

You're very welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful.

Another excellent piece, although a little late 😂 I used/liked GNU Stow for a long time, and was actually enjoying it. But lately I’ve used a bare repo for all my dotfiles (starting from scratch), and I think I really really like this whole new thing of doing things. Especially coupled with the 1Password CLI/SSH client. Signing and pushing just with a fingerprint 😉

Nice, I have a bare repo but I am trying to keep all my stuff separate now so I only have a few things in it.

Thanks! I was using another tutorial video without luck. This video, particularly the push part, helped out and now my bare repository works.

[@JakeLinux]

Glad it helped

I use the CLI and Drag N Drop both and using Git is a pain either way... lol But it the nature of the beast... Thanks for showing some other tricks Jake! LLAP

Question: How would I go about syncing my dotfiles on another device, for example? Clone the GitLab repo into $HOME/dotfiles on the new device, then add my alias and do a git pull (config pull, in this case) to get everything where it initially was?

Good video, thank you!!

[@rolin5223]

Thank you very much!

dot config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no this command not working, its return - fatal: --local can only be used inside a git repository how to fix it?

[@w3samiulazim]

@@JakeLinux Yes, I made a mistake writing alias.
