Opened an account with Gitlab by the beginning of the year. I'm not a great admirer of cloud stuff, but Gitlab is actually super useful. I keep my dotfiles, scripts, and wallpapers there. Actually, it saved me once to have my .zshrc backed up there.
Sure, I tend to backup everything locally, but it also makes it easy to sync things on multiple computers without having to juggle USB devices or hard drives.
I'm also about to help someone transition from Windows to Linux. I'm sure I'll make use of one or another of my dotfiles on my Gitlab repo.
However, I need to learn how to use ssh, since uploading files to Gitlab using the web interface really is a big pain.
Thank you for this video!

If I'm ever migrate distro or reinstall my os, should I save the files inside .ssh? Once I copy the id_rsa.pub ssh key into GitLab, can I just run config push without the .ssh directory in my home directory?
I'd also like to clarify that even said to use the key in id_rsa, GitLab recommends the id_rsa.pub instead, I'm new to using git (or -config- like in your git bare video) so I decided to use the public key like how GitLab recommended.

Created an account at Gihub. Then discovered who owns Github. Deleted account and swam over to Gitlab.
Thinking Ansible might be the best bet for my config backups, with the ability to automatically install onto any laptop connected to to the Internet. Also, the ability to automatically install programs, users etc. Looks like an amazing time saver.... after having spent an enormous amount of time setting it up :-)

I started using gitlab some months ago thanks to you and I found a web page that showed me how to do it but now I can't find that again so my dotfiles just laying there and by this video I thank you so I can get them back into my newly installed system. This was a perfect time to upload this, thanks DT :D

Kind of a useless video. Came here hoping to learn how to push the files from my home directory into my repo without git complaining about them being -outside of the repository-. Only learned here that that is possible somehow but not how to actually do it.

Excellent git tutorial! Thank you so much. You made this SO MUCH clearer for me, and I am sure for countless others.
If you could edit the title of the video, I would recommend adding something like -Beginning Git Tutorial.- Just a thought.

Use NixOS and you can store your whole machine's system-level configuration in one or two files and rebuild it on the same or new hardware with one command.
I think Guix has the same philosophy.

-I dont distro hop much these days-, sounds like something a distro hopper might say
Jokes aside, great video, your tutorials are a blessing for beginners who want to get into tech stuff

Thanks DT! this is a great primer on using git - well explained! I've also followed your git bare repository video and about to set it up with my dotfiles.
