Quick Setup
Installation command for packages
sudo pacman -S --noconfirm i3-wm dmenu xorg-xinit xorg-server pulseaudio trash-cli nodejs luajit ruby python pnpm luarocks dotnet-sdk julia duf bat dust fzf fd neovim ripgrep tgpt sd yazi zoxide hyperfine yq wezterm firefox git gron eza procs curlie zsh zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh-autosuggestions xclip brightnessctl noto-fonts-emoji flameshot ttf-jetbrains-mono-nerd onefetch
Also install yay
sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git && cd yay && makepkg -si && cd .. && rm -rf yay
And install yay packages
yay -S --noconfirm boomer fzf-tab-source gimp-git zsh-autopair
This single command will generate Git SSH keys and copy them into clipboard so I can easily setup Git and GitHub on a new computer in just 2 seconds
mkdir -p "$HOME/.ssh" && ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f "$HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519" -N "" && cat "$HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub"
Now just clone this repo into ~/dotfiles (it needs to be there since all the env variables in wezterm.lua point to that place) and launch wezterm
git clone https://github.com/nikitarevenco/dotfiles %USERPROFILE%\dotfiles
Create symlinks:
mkdir -p ~/.config/i3 && ln -s ~/dotfiles/i3.sh ~/.config/i3/config && echo "source ~/dotfiles/zsh.zsh" > ~/.zshrc
Install scoop (in my experience this is the best package manager for windows)
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser; Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://get.scoop.sh | Invoke-Expression
Add buckets and install packages
scoop bucket add extras ; scoop bucket add nerd-fonts ; scoop install bat clink duf dust eza fd firefox fzf git gron JetBrainsMono-NF jq luajit neovim nodejs pnpm ripgrep sd wezterm yazi zoxide yq curlie hyperfine procs uutils-coreutils luarocks ruby tgpt julia dotnet-sdk gimp flameshot
Windows comes in with hundreds of packages I don't use and that slow down my computer. That's why I use the script below (win11debloat) which removes all those apps and if I ever need them back I can easily reinstall through the Microsoft Store
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://win11debloat.raphi.re/")))
In my wezterm.lua I set the env variables for all other apps, but the below command is required so that that config file can be loaded in the first place. It permanently sets the environment variable in the system
setx WEZTERM_CONFIG_FILE "%USERPROFILE%\dotfiles\wezterm.lua"
setx GLAZEWM_CONFIG_PATH "%USERPROFILE%\dotfiles\glazewm.yaml"
This single command will generate Git SSH keys and copy them into clipboard so I can easily setup Git and GitHub on a new computer in just 2 seconds
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $env:USERPROFILE\.ssh -Force; ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f "$env:USERPROFILE\.ssh\id_ed25519" -N '""' ; type "$env:USERPROFILE\.ssh\id_ed25519.pub" | clip
Now just clone this repo into ~/dotfiles (it needs to be there since all the env variables in wezterm.lua point to that place) and launch wezterm
git clone https://github.com/nikitarevenco/dotfiles %USERPROFILE%\dotfiles
