Setting up zsh

https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Installing-ZSH 

sudo apt install zsh

chsh -s $(which zsh)

on chrome book with Crostini 

sudo chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh $USER

exit and start shell again

Oh My Zsh time

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh

to adjust settings if you don't already have a config setup

install the powerline fonts

if on windows with wsl then 

git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git
# install
cd fonts
./install.ps1

you will need to change the font by click on the top left of window and then selecting a powerline font

else on Linux 

sudo apt install powerline-fonts

or if that doesn't work… 

# clone
git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git --depth=1
# install
cd fonts
./install.sh
# clean-up a bit
cd ..
rm -rf fonts

Vim

Vim is already installed.

but if it is not 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vim

or 

git clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git
cd vim/src
make
sudo make install

curl or copy your .vimrc

add Plug (vim package manager) 

curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
     https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Spacemacs

First add emacs

Linux

sudo apt install emacs

Chromebook

On chrome book with Crostini I have found that using nix is the easiest way of installing the latest version of emacs. 

sudo apt install xz-utils
curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
nix-env -i emacs

Add script it tells you to run to your shell config file.

Windows

Emacs Windows Instructions

Can download folder unzip into ~/Programs and then add the bin folder to the PATH environment variable.

Add the following Environment Variables:

Name Value
HOME c:\Users\username
ALTERNATE_EDITOR c:\path\→\runemacs.exe

Create a Shortcut Emacs shortcut Daemon

Use this code for a desktop/task-bar shortcut. Right-click in a file folder, select New → Shortcut, and enter: 

c:\path\to\emacs\bin\emacsclientw.exe -c -n -a runemacs.exe

This shortcut will connect to Emacs daemon if it is running, otherwise opens a new frame. 

-c tells emacs to create a new frame instead of trying to use an existing frame.
-n means no wait - don't wait for the server to return
-a EDITOR specifies to the emacsclientw.exe which editor to run if emacs.exe is not running. An empty string starts a new server if needed

then add spacemacs

and use the develop branch 

git clone https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs ~/.emacs.d
cd .emacs.d
git checkout develop

or just 

git clone https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs ~/.emacs.d -b develop

curl .spacemacs file

tmux

may already be installed but if not 

sudo apt install tmux

reloading tmux config https://sanctum.geek.nz/arabesque/reloading-tmux-config/

node

we are going to use nvm 

mkdir ~/.nvm
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash

wsl extras

Linux files for a running WSL distro are located at \\wsl$\<distro_name> from windows and act like a network drive.

to find ip of wsl local host 

ip addr | grep eth0

Convert Windows paths to wsl and vise versa 

wslpath -u ~

Produces /mnt/c/home/jonas 

wslpath -w ~

Produces \\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\jonas

git

store credentials

git config credential.helper store

git config user.email "example@email.com
