 Welcome to the .dotfiles wiki!\
 This Repo is currently set up following a [tutorial](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles) inspired by a [Hacker News post](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11070797) .
+# Setup
+This technique simply uses a bare git repository (in this case located in `~/.dotfiles`).\
+A `dotfiles` alias can then be added to your respective terminalrc (e.g. `.bashrc`) for ease of use.

-# Initial setup
+## Cloning onto a new Machine
+1. Clone the repo into a **bare** repository in your home directory
+```
+git clone --bare <git-repo-url> $HOME/.dotfiles
+```
+> The next steps are not required if you don't want to track changes made to your dotfiles on this machine.
+2. Append the following alias to your terminalrc
+```
+alias dotfiles='git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
+```
+3. Checkout the content from your repo to your home directory
+```
+dotfiles checkout
+```
+## Initial setup
+1. Initialize a bare git repository in your home directory using
+```
+git init --bare $HOME/.dotfiles
+```
+2. Append the following alias to your terminalrc
+```
+alias dotfiles='git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
+```
+3. Use the alias to configure git to hide untracked files for this repo
+```
+dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
+```
+4. Use git as you would normally to track your dotfiles, only using e.g. `dotfiles add` instead of `git add`
