Why is this on version control?

It takes a bunch of time to config everything (and I change it pretty often), so I versioned the config files to git clone and get up and running easily. In addition, I developed a series of scritps to install in a barebones OS (Windows and Debian Linux) so I can break everything that the worse case scenario is to run a script and have a new machine in less than half an hour.

Copy and paste any content as much as you like!

General rundown

Windows and Linux are for exclusive scripts (installation and some apps). I generally want to develop as much as I can in the .config and nushell folders. Those can be symlinked into every OS and usually are crossplatform apps.

Cross platform packages

In windows almost everything is managed by scoop, but I still have some CLI apps that are isolated in its own managers:

• For npm packages, list all the globals with:

  npm list -g --depth=0

• cargo has its own packages, so list them with:

  cargo install --list

• For python packages, I use pipx (black, mypy, flake8, all-repos & pipenv) you can get the current pipx packages with

  pipx list

  Tip: If you don't find pipx on PowerShell, try to add manually to PATH. Source

  Probably it will be that this is not in PATH.

Enviromnent apps

I like to have everything in its own little isolated box. So the boys don't play hard on each other. I use pyenv and pyenv-win to manage Python. fnm to manage NodeJS.

Symlink the .gitconfig

On windows, in PowerShell with admin priviledges:

New-Item -Type SymbolicLink -path ~/.gitconfig -Target ~\repos\dotfiles\.gitconfig
