Rework version to automate setting up a new machine.

Installation

Warning: If you want to give these dotfiles a try, you should first fork this repository, review the code, and remove things you don’t want or need. Don’t blindly use my settings unless you know what that entails. Use at your own risk!

Using Git and the bootstrap script

You can clone this repository wherever you want. (I like to keep it in ~/_projects/dotfiles) The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version from origin and copy the files to your home folder.

git clone https://github.com/nbstrat/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && source bootstrap.sh

To apply updates, cd into your local dotfiles repository and then:

source bootstrap.sh

Alternatively, to update while avoiding the confirmation prompt:

set -- -f; source bootstrap.sh

Thanks To

Software Installation via appget is no longer an option.

[The Day AppGet Died]https://keivan.io/the-day-appget-died/

AppGet is a package manager for Windows that I have recently started using that greatly simplifies installing your must-have development software. Just be sure to not to forget to restart your bash shell after installing!

Below is my current list of must-haves for getting stuff done. I typically run these commands with the interactive and verbose flags to see the specific errors that may occur when executing from certain locations.

NOTE: The following commands can be executed in Powershell or a Bash Shell.

Git

appget install git --interactive --verbose
winget install -e --id Git.Git

Git Extensions

appget install gitextensions --interactive --verbose  
winget install -e --id GitExtensionsTeam.GitExtensions

Beyond Compare

appget install beyond-compare --interactive --verbose
winget install -e --id ScooterSoftware.BeyondCompare4

Visual Studio Code

appget install visual-studio-code --interactive --verbose
winget install -e --id Microsoft.VisualStudioCode

Visual Studio 2022 Enterprise Edition

winget install -e --id Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.Enterprise.Preview

7-Zip

appget install 7zip --interactive --verbose
winget install -e --id 7zip.7zip

winget - Software Installation

Just FYI winget sucks in comparison to the ease of use with appget.
