# Dotfiles for Ubuntu 22.04
My preferred starting configuration. Currently using [Ubuntu 22.04](https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop) + [Pop_OS! Shell](https://github.com/pop-os/shell) for tiling.
The installation script (`scripts/install.sh`) will install a suggested serving of programs and applications using scripts in the `scripts/programs/` directory. Please verify that you want these before running the script.
Add or delete programs in `scripts/install.sh` and `scripts/programs/` to modify your installation.
## Usage
After installing your fresh OS:
1. [Create any SSH keys](https://docs.github.com/articles/generating-an-ssh-key/) you need to access GitHub. See [copy-able commands](#set-up-ssh-keys) for doing this below. If not generating new keys, place the ones you need in `.ssh/`. Remember to run `ssh-add` as well as `chmod 600 `.
2. Then clone this repository:
```sh
git clone [email protected]:victoriadrake/dotfiles.git
# Or use HTTPS
git clone https://github.com/victoriadrake/dotfiles.git
```
You may optionally like to pass the `--depth` argument to clone only a few of the [most recent commits](https://github.com/victoriadrake/dotfiles/commits/master).
3. Close Firefox if it's open, then run the installation script. ([Read it first](scripts/install.sh) so you know what it does!)
```sh
cd dotfiles/scripts/
./install.sh
```
To install the Pop_OS! Shell for window tiling, see [Installation in their repo.](https://github.com/pop-os/shell#installation)
## Random Helpful Stuff (TM)
### Clone all your remote repositories
Given a list of repository URLs, `gh-repos.txt`, run:
```sh
xargs -n1 git clone < gh-repos.txt
```
Use the `firewood` Bash alias (see `.bashrc`) to collect remote branches.
See [How to write Bash one-liners for cloning and managing GitHub and GitLab repositories](https://victoria.dev/blog/how-to-write-bash-one-liners-for-cloning-and-managing-github-and-gitlab-repositories/) for more.
### Terminal theme
There are plenty of themes for Gnome terminal at [Mayccoll/Gogh](https://github.com/Mayccoll/Gogh).
For the Gogh script to work, you may need to have an existing terminal profile named `Default`. This will get overwritten.
Print a 256-color test pattern in your terminal:
```sh
for i in {0..255} ; do
printf "\x1b[48;5;%sm%3d\e[0m " "$i" "$i"
if (( i == 15 )) || (( i > 15 )) && (( (i-15) % 6 == 0 )); then
printf "\n";
fi
done
```
### Saving and loading configuration settings
Where `SETTINGS_BACKUP` is wherever you backed up/want to back up your settings (aptly named, isn't it?), load `settings.dconf` with:
```sh
dconf load /org/gnome/ < $(SETTINGS_BACKUP)/.config/dconf/settings.dconf
```
Back up new settings with:
```sh
dconf dump /org/gnome/ > $(SETTINGS_BACKUP)/.config/dconf/settings.dconf
```
Run `man dconf` on your machine for more.
### Set up SSH Keys
Commands for setting up a new SSH key.
1. Generate the key:
```sh
ssh-keygen -t ed25519
```
2. Add it to the ssh-agent:
```sh
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
```
3. Set appropriate permissions:
```sh
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
```
4. Show the public key so you can copy it to the service, e.g. GitHub:
```sh
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
```
