If you're on a version of portage that supports repos.conf, you can add funtoo-overlay for testing purposes before the tree sync or to use ebuilds from the overlay itself. Here's how.
Assuming /etc/portage/repos.conf is a directory, create a file called /etc/portage/repos.conf/funtoo-overlay with the following contents.
/etc/portage/repos.conf/funtoo-overlay - adding funtoo-overlay to repos.conf[funtoo-overlay]
location = /var/portage/funtoo-overlay
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://github.com/funtoo/funtoo-overlay.git
auto-sync = yes
The location of the overlay can be anywhere you'd like, ensure that the top level directory above the overlay directory exists. In this case “/var/portage” must exist when creating this configuration. Again it does not have to specifically be in “/var/portage”, location may be edited to a location of your choosing. Just ensure that the top level directory exists.
If /etc/portage/repos.conf is a file instead of a directory on your system, you may add the above as a block to the file. The same statement about location applies.
After the configuration is saved, you may `emerge --sync`, and it will clone the repository and make the overlay available for you to use.
