Preamble

I've recently installed Pop! OS on my new laptops and I've been slowly re-learning bash scripting. I started programming at school about 35 years ago and later, while I was at University.

This is fork of a mature project that extends the bash setup on my Laptops and any other computer I care to install it on, I'll be adding functionality when time permits. At the moment, I'm quite enjoying the whole process, as it help me re-learn languages and techniques that I once used on a daily basis, the ones that I no longer use in my current job.

It scratches an itch. 😄

Installation

You will need to install git first before downloading the dotfiles, to install git, type the following at the prompt.

sudo apt install git sudo

If your installing on a virgin install of debian, you'll have to setup sudo. To do this you will have to edit a file /etc/sudoes and add your username after the root username.

su
nano /etc/sudoers

Add the following, swap username for the login name of the person, that you want to be in the sudo group

root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL  
username  ALL=(ALL)  ALL

git clone https://github.com/Billy-Dickson/dotfiles.git

I usually enable autoupdate, and at some point I intend to automate the process of installing the package. For now here's manual instructions on installing and setting up auto-update
