dotfiles

This repository includes all of my current custom dotfiles and setup/install scripts. The included run.sh script runs the other scripts that install a bunch of packages, run any setup instructions, and symlink the dotfiles in this repo to the appropriate location.

Supported OS's

• Debian 10 buster
• Windows 10/11

Pre-reqs

• Debian:
  • install git
  • manually add contrib and non-free to /etc/apt/sources.list see the doc
• Windows 10/11
  • enable symlinks for this account see here
  • install winget

Run

• Linux

mkdir -p ~/projects/therealjumbo
cd ~/projects/therealjumbo
git clone https://github.com:therealjumbo/dotfiles.git
./dotfiles/run.sh

• Windows In a powershell admin console:

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine
winget install --exact --source winget --scope Machine --accept-package-agreements --id Git.Git
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $USERPROFILE\projects\therealjumbo
Set-Location -Path $USERPROFILE\projects\therealjumbo
git clone https://github.com:therealjumbo/dotfiles.git
.\dotfiles\run.ps1

Explanation

1. ./run.[sh|ps1] should be the script that the user runs normally, although the other scripts can be run independently.

2. The ./install/install.[sh|ps1] script is run. This script installs software packages.

3. The ./setup/setup.[sh|ps1] script is run. This script runs setup commands that do not involve installing software or symlinking dotfiles.

4. The ./dotfiles/dotfiles.[sh|ps1] script is run. This script symlinks the dotfiles inside this repo to the appropriate location in the home directory.

5. The ./usr/usr.[sh|ps1] script is run. Each file in ./usr/bin/ is symlinked into /usr/local/bin/.

6. In order for the default shell change to take effect, you must logout and log back in once the scripts are finished.

Notes

• On Debian, this script enables automatic security updates, you probably want to disable that if you are going to use debian 'unstable'
