How to set up

1. If you want to use this config

Clone the repo in your HOME directory:

git clone --bare https://github.com/josepmdc/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles

Define an alias so you can manage your dotfiles from any directory (NOTE: Notice this writes an alias to the .zshrc file, change it if you are using another shell):

echo "alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'" >> $HOME/.zshrc

Checkout the files in your HOME directory:

dotfiles checkout
