shaft

shaft is my package and config manager that allows me to set up the same tools and configs in multiple environments and cross-platform.

It serves as my:

• "dotfiles" repo i.e. software configs, but cross-platform.
• Installation scripts
• Version tracker
• Utility scripts
• Setup documentation

Documentation below is for me to setup shaft on a new machine.

Requirements

• Windows:
  • Sudo for Windows: How to enable.
  • Set up a dev drive for optimal performance: How to set up.
  • Install Rust toolchain and MSVC.
• Other:
  • sudo
  • Install Rust toolchain and build tools.

Install/Upgrade

Installing for the first time: clone and build

git clone https://github.com/Pistonite/shaft
cd shaft
cargo run --bin shaft-build
cargo run --bin shaft

After setup is complete:

cargo run --bin shaft upgrade

To upgrade run shaft upgrade

ARM build issue

For ARM64, if build is failing, consider using the X64 emulation mode.

First add the target (replace the target triple with the one for your OS)

rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

Then replace cargo run --bin shaft above with

cargo run --bin shaft --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc --features build-x64
