I have recently come accross with a new solution to one of my biggest headaches in any linux system and it is to manage the nightmareof the dot files. I have previously used stow in order to mantain the symbolic links, but there is a much better solution using git bare repositories.

1. Creating the repository

1. Create a git bare repository with the following line

    mkdir $HOME/.dotfiles
    git init --bare $HOME/.dotfiles

2. Create an alias for a better managing of the configuration

It can be useful to create wildcard domains for local services.  Rather than create one for each local service, a wildcard is easier. It would be easy to use dnsmasq to do this, but Pihole no longer directly supports that.

There are two options to get this to work:

misc.dnsmasq_lines

The developers of Pihole anticipated that we might have this very need. In the GUI, switch to Expert mode and then go to All Settings->Miscellaneous. Scroll down to misc.dnsmasq_lines where you can add individual values that will be injected into the configuration.

Add address=/.local.mydomain.com/192.168.1.16 for a wildcard. (The leading . is vital!)
