These dotfiles follow the bare repository and alias method popularized by this Hacker News comment, which just takes four commands to set up:
git clone --separate-git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles https://github.com/kunzese/dotfiles.git $HOME/dotfiles-tmp
rm -r $HOME/dotfiles-tmp
alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
