Introduction

Use this to store labs and project related work. Could be reusable

Setup

I think using lazygit is a good idea, good gui, helps with amends and rebasing if any since we dont have vscode anymore

scoop

scoop is a cli mananger for windows. Use these comamnds to install them in powershell.

# Set control policies
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

# Use this first
irm get.scoop.sh | iex

# You can use proxies if you have network trouble in accessing GitHub, e.g.
irm get.scoop.sh -Proxy 'http://<ip:port>' | iex

Check if it installed correctly by using scoop help

lazygit

lazygit is a CLI based GUI service for git with some enhancements. This works best with powershell over git bash. Install using scoop in the following way:

# Add the extras bucket
scoop bucket add extras

# Install lazygit
scoop install lazygit

Verify functional by using lazygit in a git repo, the GUI should turn up with a welcome message.

If you're planning on using git bash use the following command to activate lazygit instead:

winpty lazygit
