Dotfiles aka Configuration for zsh and associated tools

Installation (and Prereqs)

WSL Install (Windows Only)

Open up powershell and install wsl with the following command

wsl.exe --install archlinux
wsl.exe --set-default archlinux

Package configuration

Follow # Arch CFG to configure all the packages assumed on the system or ensure that git and stow are at minimum installed.

Note: I have only tested this with my arch config, so it may not work out of the box otherwise

Installation

Clone the repo via git into $HOME directory and execute stow to create the necessary symlinks.

git clone git@github.com/jacobsky/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
stow .

Arch CFG

Configuring arch should be done via the following commands:

sudo useradd -m [username]
sudo passwd [username]
sudo usermod -aG wheel [username]

Finally, it will be necessary to edit the /etc/sudoers file to allow the wheel members access

Once this is complete, ensure that Yet Another Yogurt (or paru) is installed. Yay can be installed as per the following command

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git && cd yay-bin && makepkg -si

To help track the "generally used arch packages" that I use, I am maintaining both the pacman and yay (AUR) packages as well as any custom installation scripts for specific tools not found on the package managers which can be installed via scripts/install.sh

When new additions are made, they can be automatically managed and added via the scripts/archpacbu.sh script and running it from you home ~ directory.
