dotfiles-install.sh | /bin/zsh

Done!

From now on you can use bare repo almost the same way as normal git repo.

Just use special alias config instead of git command for the repo.

Define the alias in the current shell scope:

alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.config/ --work-tree=$HOME'

Example usage:

config status
config add .vimrc
config commit -m "Add vimrc"
config add .bashrc
config commit -m "Add bashrc"
config push
