Shared git config

Keep your ~/.gitconfig synchronized across different computers.

Usage

1. Fork this repo.

2. Run the following on the computer that has the best ~/.gitconfig:

   git clone --depth=1 [email protected]:<your-github-username>/shared-git-config.git ~/shared-git-config
   mv -f ~/.gitconfig ~/shared-git-config/.gitconfig
   ln -s ~/shared-git-config/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
   cd ~/shared-git-config
   git add .gitconfig
   git commit
   git push -u origin master

3. Run the following on all other computers:

   git clone --depth=1 [email protected]:<your-github-username>/shared-git-config.git ~/shared-git-config
   mv -f ~/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig.bak
   ln -s ~/shared-git-config/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig

4. When you have modified your git config and you want to publish it everywhere,

   # On the computer where you modified your git config
   cd ~/shared-git-config
   git add .gitconfig
   git commit
   git push -u origin master
   
   # On other computers
   cd ~/shared-git-config
   git pull --ff-only
