git-commands

Contains bash configurations and other useful bash modifications (e.g. git-prompts, git aliases, ...)

Purpose

This repository contains personal shell/tooling configuration files and helper scripts for:

• Bash (bash/)
• Git (git/)
• Themes and prompt configuration (themes/, windows-terminal/, power-toys/)
• VS Code settings (vscode/)
• Small utility scripts (python/)

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+ available as python
• Git Bash (recommended on Windows)
• Symlink permissions on Windows (run terminal as Administrator or enable Developer Mode)

Quick Start

From the repository root, create/update symlinks into your home directory:

python symlink_files.py

This links core files such as:

• bash/.bashrc, bash/.bash_aliases, bash/.bash_profile, bash/.bash_completion -> $HOME/
• git/.gitconfig -> $HOME/.gitconfig

Optional prompt setup

Use the bash-native git prompt:

python symlink_files.py --link_git_prompt

This additionally links:

• bash/git-prompt.sh -> $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bash/git-prompt.sh (or $HOME/.config/bash/git-prompt.sh)

Use Starship instead:

python symlink_files.py --link_starship_config

This links:

• themes/starship.toml -> $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/starship.toml (or $HOME/.config/starship.toml)

Overwrite existing files

If destination files already exist, force replacement:

python symlink_files.py --force
