# + system_mindset - Dotfile Management via git bare
# | 1. source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBoLDpTWVOM
# | 2. source: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles
sm_dir=$HOME/.config/sm/
alias sm='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=${sm_dir}system_mindset/ --work-tree=$HOME'
# +--+ manually managed, so not show other files in $HOME
sm config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
# +--+ update modified, deleted and new files to commit
alias sm_stage-changes='sm add $(sm status | grep "modified\|deleted\|new file" | sed "s/.*://")'
# +--+ remove updated files
alias sm_unstage-changes='sm reset --mixed'
# +--+ add tig support
sm config tig.status-show-untracked-files false
alias sm_tig='GIT_DIR=${sm_dir}system_mindset/ GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME tig'You can therefore work with sm <cmd> in the same way as with git <cmd>. For example, use sm pull to pull or sm push to push. Add aliases that suit you best. I like the command line tool tig, so I use the alias sm_tig to use it for adding, deploying and committing my changes.
