• troubleshooting
  • WSL2 cant execute window binary

Prerequisite

• Linux or WSL2 etc.
• ensure you can run window binary fix here
• bitwarden data (keep sensitive files, only main branch)
• curl

Make sure you have curl installed. If not, you can install it with the following command:

sudo apt install -y curl

Bitwarden CLI

To keep sensitive files away from the public repository, I use Bitwarden for added security. The following secrets are utilized within this setup.

If you don't use Bitwarden, just ignore any prompts during initialization with Chezmoi. see.

notes

name	contain
dotfiles/.ssh/config_hosts	ssh host configs

Window

Install Debian distribution or any you like

Open PowerShell or Windows Command Prompt in administrator mode and run.

wsl --install -d Debian

Tools

Install with Choco or Winget

Tools list

• window terminal
• vscode

My Mac App Store Apps

Installation

To install chezmoi and clone the dotfiles in $HOME directory , use the bootstrap command below.

sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io)" -- init --apply karnzx

Optional variables so you can create for anyone who forks or clones these dotfiles for himself, leave it empty for manualy add

key	value
BITWARDEN_EMAIL	bitwarden email

The command works as follows:

• Installs chezmoi, initializes it, and applies the dotfiles.
• Once the dotfiles are cloned, chezmoi will run scripts to install all necessary things in .chezmoiscripts directory, such as WSL2 configuration, fonts, tools, etc.
• apply chezmoi template, such as bitwarden get credential files

Updating your dotfiles

To update your dotfiles on any machine, use the following command (assuming cz is your chezmoi alias):

cz update
