This repository was inspired by Mathias Bynens' dotfiles repository and adapted from Zell Liew's and from Nick Janetakis's dotfiles. Although I copied many things, I also deleted/updated many things to suit my custom installation. Use this at your own risk!
Here are the installation instructions for Mac and Windows (WSL)
# Create your own personal ~/.gitconfig.user file. After copying the file,
# you should edit it to have your name and email address so git can use it.
cp ~/dotfiles/.gitconfig.user ~/.gitconfig.userOptionally confirm that a few things work after closing and re-opening your terminal:
# Sanity check to see if you can run some of the tools we installed.
ruby --version
node --version
# ansible --version
# aws --version
# terraform --version
# Check to make sure git is configured with your name, email and custom settings.
git config --list
# If you're using Docker Desktop with WSL 2, these should be accessible too.
docker info
docker-compose --versionIn addition to the Linux side of things, there's a few config files that I have in various directories of this dotfiles repo. These have long Windows paths.
It would be expected that you copy those over to your system while replacing
"Mass" with your Windows user name if you want to use those things, such as my Microsoft Terminal settings.json file and others.
Some of the paths may also contain unique IDs too, so adjust them as needed on your end.
Some of these configs expect that you have certain programs or tools installed on Windows.
Pay very close attention to the c/Users/Mass/.wslconfig file in the windows folder because it has
values in there that you will very likely need to change before using it.
This commit message
goes into the details.
Also, you should reboot to activate your /etc/wsl.conf file (symlinked
earlier). That will be necessary if you want to access your mounted drives at
/c or /d instead of /mnt/c or /mnt/d.
Have a suggestion? Please let me know!
