Instruction

Install dotfiles

1. Clone as a bare repository

git clone --bare [email protected]:Zhniing/Dotfiles.git $HOME/Projects/Dotfiles.git

2. Create an alias dit (dotfiles & git)

After the .zshrc being sourced, you can interact with this bare repository using git directly when your working directory is $HOME

alias dit="git --git-dir=$HOME/Projects/Dotfiles.git --work-tree=$HOME"

3. Ignore untracked files in git status

dit config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

4. Restore files (will overwrite existing files):

dit checkout HEAD <FILE>  # Restore the specific file
dit reset --hard HEAD     # Restore all files

WPS

WPS honors screen DPI by default. However, export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.3 will cause some UI issues. To disable the global scale for WPS, you may write unset QT_SCALE_FACTOR to /usr/bin/wps. What's more, WPS can be scaled with QT_FONT_DPI=240 wps
