hi all,

"git config core.worktree /etc" is not really needed in your setup

I would like to suggest to use alias instead of env var. This way you
can work easily on multiple git repo in the same shell

for example
alias etc-git='git --git-dir=/path/to/etc.git --work-dir=/etc'
alias home-git='git --git-dir=/path/to/home.git --work-dir=$HOME' #just
check that $HOME is defined

and run
etc-git add /etc/pacman.conf
etc-git rc.conf
home-git add anyfileinhome
home-git commit -a
etc-git commit -a

place the aliases in your .bashrc or aliases file
