Files are tracked by a bare git repository, e.g. `~/.dotfiles`.

The trick is to use the combination of --git-dir and --work-tree git options. An alias can be defined to simplify the process: `alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'`.

`dotfiles` can be used as you would use `git`, e.g.:

- `dotfiles add <file>`

- `dotfiles commit [options]`

I would like to use a pager-like device as a grocery shopping list. But a pager isn't quite what I'm looking for (I think).

Basically, I need a small device that can fit in a pocket, with a long battery life, a simple display, and a few buttons. Bonus points if it's cheap and easily hackable.

What are the options?

I wonder if the Stream Deck is used in other areas besides streaming. I mean: can it become a must for other professions, e.g. software developers.
