+## Installing onto a new system (bare git repository)  
+  1. Avoid weird behaviour/recursion issues when .cfg tries to track itself  
+  ```bash
+  $ echo ".cfg" >> .gitignore
+  ```
+  2. Clone this repo  
+  ```bash
+  $ git clone --bare https://github.com/srdusr/dotfiles.git $HOME/.cfg
+  ```
+  3. Set up the alias 'config'  
+  ```bash
+  $ alias config='git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg --work-tree=$HOME'
+  ```
+  4. Set local configuration into .cfg to ignore untracked files  
+  ```bash
+  $ config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
+  ```
+  5. Checkout  
+  ```bash
+  $ config checkout
+  ```
