Create global .gitignore

My global .gitignore file for common non-versioned files like macOS .DS_Store and so on.

mkdir -p ~/.git_core/
touch ~/.git_core/.gitignore
git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.git_core/.gitignore

# Optional: copy template/base
cd ~/dotfiles/git/ && cp ./.gitignore.dist ~/.git_core/.gitignore

Setup git aliases

# List all existing aliases
git config --global --get-regex ^alias\.

# Create our aliases
git config --global alias.stauts status
git config --global alias.dff diff
git config --global alias.pul pull

Setup git differ

git config --global core.pager "diff-so-fancy | less --tabs=4 -RFX"

Terminal Theme

My favorite terminal theme ist Smyck (this way I don‘t need to search for it again and again…)
