Dotfiles

My configuration files for bash, vim, tmux and so forth.

Setup Notes

The intention is to be able to run a setup script after cloning the repo on an Ubuntu system and be up and running very quickly.

Ubuntu

DOTFILES_DIR=$HOME/dev/repos/github.com/bde-dev
mkdir -p $DOTFILES_DIR
cd $DOTFILES_DIR
git clone https://github.com/bde-dev/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
./setup

# Optionally descend into "tools" and install common CLI programs.
cd tools
./setup

Windows and WSL setup

• Install WSL in powershell

The above command only works if WSL is not installed at all, if you run wsl --install and see the WSL help text, please try running wsl --list --online to see a list of available distros and run wsl --install -d <DistroName> to install a distro. To uninstall WSL, see Uninstall legacy version of WSL or unregister or uninstall a Linux distribution.
