Design Concept
Starting from a brand new laptop with only the base operating system installed, I would like to be able to quickly have my environment setup. Then I open a new terminal window and all remaining bits are automagically configured for me. I also would like to install complex software packages easily, employing just a single command. Then I'm ready to go. The entire thing should not take more than a few minutes.
Features in a nutshell
- Useful shell scripts aiming daily mundane tasks, such as finding text on large codebases;
- Shell scripts for installing Java, Node, Scala, Rust, among a bunch of other things;
- One post installation script for sysadmins configuring a brand new laptop or server;
- One post installation script for regular users seeking Firefox and Thunderbird in user's space;
- Employs virtual environments in order to allow distinct versions of your preferred tools;
- All commands always available, no matter if you are using functions, sub-shells or whatever;
- Flexibility of a separate history per session but also a global history for all sessions.
Other use cases
- Opinionated post installation on system's space;
- Opinionated post installation on user's space;
