My Linux Config

This repository contains my personal configuration files when I want to setup a Linux environment.

Minimal Manual Action to Get Started

At a minimum, we need to manually install Task which will allow us to install the rest of the software stack.

Rust and go

You may have to install Rust and Go first.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

{ mkdir -p ~/opt && cd ~/opt && wget 'https://go.dev/dl/go1.22.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz' -O - | tar zx && mv go go-1.22.5; }

Task

Go Task - Documentation: Task is a task runner / build tool that aims to be simpler and easier to use than, for example, GNU Make. Go Task - GitHub: A task runner / simpler Make alternative written in Go.

env GOBIN=$HOME/.local/bin go install github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest

ChezMoi

ChezMoi - Documentation ChezMoi - GitHub: Manage your dotfiles across multiple diverse machines, securely.

env GOBIN=$HOME/.local/bin go install github.com/twpayne/chezmoi@latest

or

task -t taskfiles/go_essentials.yml chezmoi

Clone and Apply Chezmoi

chezmoi init --apply github:SamuelLarkin/dotfiles.git
