     12 ``` sh
     13 # In $HOME, prepare a Git repository:
     14 $ git init
     15 
     16 # Grab history:
     17 $ git remote add --fetch $cutename $url
     18 
     19 # Move to latest commit without actually touching files:
     20 $ git reset $cutename/trunk
     21 
     22 # Checkout dotfiles that were not already in $HOME:
     23 $ git restore -- .foo .bar .baz
     24 
     25 # Or checkout everything:
     26 $ git restore -- $(git ls-files --deleted)

     29 $ echo '*' >> .git/info/exclude
     30 
     31 # Tell Git to forget about repository fluff:
     32 $ git update-index --assume-unchanged -- README # …
