Here's a better solution.

TL;DR:

  alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/src/dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME'
  dotfiles add
  dotfiles commit
  ...


I really like that solution, thanks. It also means I can easily move my current git dir to the new place and still have everything work.

Does anyone know if syncing a git repo over Syncthing (or similar) is a good idea or whether there are likely to be conflicts? I don't know if git names its files such that conflicts aren't possible.


Brilliant, thanks!
