Use Git, GitLab & GitHub to manage dotfiles. My workflow for Qtile, Hyprland configs & others.
In this video, I will show you my workflow to manage my Linux configuration, the dotfiles, with git, GitLab and GitHub.
Git is a version control system that helps track changes in source code during software development. GitLab and GitHub are web-based platforms that provide hosting for Git repositories, enabling collaboration, issue tracking, and more. They serve as platforms for managing and sharing code among developers and teams.

Git has a huge amount of features and commands. I will show you the basics of git and how you can use it to manage your dotfiles.
I demonstrate my workflow with the configurations for Qtile and the platform GitLab. But all commands will also work with any other window manager like Hyprland, i3, etc and instead of GitLab with GitHub.
