# Dotfiles

I have a love affair with my terminal. This is my collection of terminal configuration files that (attempt to) make daily use of the terminal easier, faster, and perhaps even more enjoyable. It’s all about strengthening the bond `;)`.

## Installation

Run `./bin/install`. Rerun whenever updating, as configuration files are locked at the last run time.

### Git identities

In order to facilitate using multiple identities for Git, identity-specific configuration is omitted from the default global Git config. Instead, create a file alongside the config file (in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/`) named `identities` akin to:

```gitconfig
[identity "personal"]
  name = John Doe
  email = john@home.example
[identity "work"]
  name = John Doe
  email = john@work.example
  sshIdentity = ~/.ssh/work/id_rsa
```

Then use `git identity` passing the identity name to set in the local, per-repository configuration.
