Baredot#

This is a Neovim plugin to automatically adjust git env vars when syncing dotfiles using the "bare git repo" method:

Dotfiles: Best way to store in a bare git repository

Details#

When launching and when changing directory (eg. :cd), the plugin will detect if the current directory is in a git repo by searching for a .git folder.

• If a .git folder is found, the env vars are cleared and git will work as normal.
• If a .git folder is not found, and we are in $HOME, the env vars will be adjusted to use the bare git repo. This will let other git plugins function using that repo.

Setup#

lazy.nvim

{
  "ejrichards/baredot.nvim",
  opts = {
    git_dir = "~/.cfg" -- Change this path
  }
}

Configuration#

{
  -- These two options set the GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE env vars
  -- They are expanded using "vim.fn.expand"
  git_dir = "~/.cfg",
  git_work_tree = "~",
  -- Filename pattern to find that will disable Baredot
  disable_pattern = "%.git"
}

Commands#

• :Baredot info - Print current status
• :Baredot toggle - Manually toggle the env vars on / off
