timmes.Boxstarter

Summary

Automating tasks is cool. It saves time and minimizes errors, at least manual errors. To save us (.NET developers) some time, I created this small script - inspired by @robertbird - for Boxstarter, so we can focus on more important things than manually downloading and installing our needed tools.

Prerequisites

• Windows 10
• Chocolatey
• Boxstarter

In order to get started with the script, you need to install Chocolatey first. Open a PowerShell console in administrator mode and run the following two lines:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
(iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1')))>$null 2>&1

After that it's time to install Boxstarter. Simply run the following script from your PowerShell:

choco install boxstarter -y

Running the script

This is as easy as installing the prerequisites. Follow these simple steps.

1. Open the Boxstarter Shell or Powershell with elevated privileges
2. Run the following command
3. Grab a tea and relax! ;-)

Install-BoxstarterPackage https://raw.githubusercontent.com/timmes/timmes.Boxstarter/master/BoxstarterDevFull.ps1

If you do not want to run the script as is but make your own changes, you should clone the repository or create a Gist. Afterwards replace the url? with the new URL where your script is hosted.
