+# How I store my dotfiles.
+
+I use a bare repository to sync my dotfiles and set it up as follows:
+
+```
+git init --bare $HOME/.cfg
+alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
+config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
+config add .config/nvim/init.lua
+config commit -m "Added init.lua"
+git remote add origin REMOTE_URL
+git push origin master
+```
+
+To install them from mine or someone else's git repo do the following:
+
+```
+echo ".cfg" >> .gitignore
+git clone --bare REMOTE-GIT-REPO-URL $HOME/.cfg
+alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
+config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
+config checkout
+```
