Managing my dotfiles as a git repository
Read OriginalThe article details a developer's personal method for managing dotfiles (user configuration files) by making his entire $HOME directory a git repository. He uses a single-line .gitignore to ignore all files by default, then forces Git to track specific config files. He also explains setup on new machines, using $HOME as a prefix for binaries and scripts, and handling host-specific configurations for different computers and architectures.
