ju (Juchem's Utility)

A tool for setting up a new Linux installation with some of my preferred settings and aliases.

Prerequisutes

• git, with ssh configured, e.g.

    ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "<emailaddress>"
    ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
  

  and upload to https://github.com/settings/keys

Setup

From your home directory, run:

git clone git@github.com:chrisjuchem/ju.git
~/ju/setup.sh

setup.sh is designed to be indempotent, so you can run it again at anytime, after making changes or pulling down a newer version.

Major Components

jurc

Aliases and environment variables to be sourced by bashrc. setup.sh creates a file in ~/bashrc.d/ that sources this file directly, so changes to this file are reflecetd in the next shell opened even without running setup.sh again.

bin

Directory containing executables. Added to $PATH by jurc.

git

Directory containing files for global git configuration. Instead of copying them or moving them, git is pointed directly to the files in this directory.

.vimrc

Vim configuration. A symlink to this file is created in the home directory. It will overwrite any existing configuration (saving a copy in .vimrc.old).
