Setup

This is a simple pair of scripts that are set up to provision a Linux machine following the local Linux machine's setup (both your user and the root user), without relying on putting all of your dotfiles somewhere and remembering what packages you need to install and whatnot.

Usage

First, make a files package to ship off.

~$ bash ./get_current_setup.sh

This creates a .zip file for you to copy over. Copy this and the setup.sh file over to your target machine, and then execute the script to provision the system.

~$ bash ./setup.sh

Supported Systems

In theory, this script should support the major flavors of Linux package managers (apt and dnf), though right now the autodetection stuff only recognizes Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, and Arch for the giggles.

Customizing

You can modify the packages you want installed by default by modifying setup.sh's TOOLS array. If you need a tool set up in a custom way, add a catch for it at the bottom of setup.sh, following the templates provided by other tools that need manual setups. Otherwise the detected package manager will be used to install your tool entry as a system package.

You can also configure what files are copied around by modifying the get_current_setup.sh file, in the SOURCES array. Do note that files/directories that have strange paths (ex. .config/subdir/desired_path) will require modifying both scripts to support. Most of the time you should be good, but potentially good to know.
