The trick is to use the combination of --git-dir and --work-tree git options. An alias can be defined to simplify the process: `alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'`.
`dotfiles` can be used as you would use `git`, e.g.:
- `dotfiles add <file>`
- `dotfiles commit [options]`
But there are some things I would like to improve, see [1].
- Adding items remotely
- Automatic item sorting
- Pre-made lists
Basically, I need a small device that can fit in a pocket, with a long battery life, a simple display, and a few buttons. Bonus points if it's cheap and easily hackable.
What are the options?
