sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y git

Note for WSL 1

• Copy the content of wsl.conf into /etc/wsl.conf

• Restart WSL via the following powershell command (Administrator permissoin is required):

net stop LxssManager

• Or use gsudo

  • Install gsudo

  scoop install gsudo

  • Use sudo to get Administrator permission

  sudo net stop LxssManager

Bootstrap

Linux, macOS, and WSL 2

• Clone this repo to your ~/dotfiles

  • via https

  git clone https://github.com/jonz94/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

  • or via ssh

  git clone git@github.com:jonz94/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

• Execute bootstrap.sh via bash

cd ~/dotfiles && bash bootstrap.sh

• Done 🎉

PowerShell on Windows

• Clone this repo to $HOME\dotflies

  • via https

  git clone https://github.com/jonz94/dotfiles.git $HOME\dotfiles

  • or via ssh

  git clone git@github.com:jonz94/dotfiles.git $HOME\dotfiles

• Execute bootstrap.ps1 script

  • for powershell version < 7

  cd ~\dotfiles; .\bootstrap.ps1

  • for powershell version >= 7

  cd ~\dotfiles && .\bootstrap.ps1

• Done 🎉

WSL 1

NOTE: ALL STEP SHOULD BE DONE INSIDE WSL 1!

• Set umask to 0022

umask 0022

• Clone this repo to /c/Users/<WindowsUserName>/dotfiles, this will make sure that all the files are save in Windows file system, also make sure that all files are using LF as EOL.

  • via https

  git clone https://github.com/jonz94/dotfiles.git /c/Users/$(powershell.exe '$env:USERNAME' | tr -d $'\r')/dotfiles

  • or via ssh

  git clone git@github.com:jonz94/dotfiles.git /c/Users/$(powershell.exe '$env:USERNAME' | tr -d $'\r')/dotfiles

• In WSL 1, create a symbolic link via following command:

ln -s /c/Users/$(powershell.exe '$env:USERNAME' | tr -d $'\r')/dotfiles ~/dotfiles

These step are important! And the reason is Do not change Linux files using Windows apps and tools

If you want to use both Windows Tools and Linux Tools to changing some files or directories in WSL. The solution I found is:

• Put those thing in Windows file system. (This makes Windows Tools happy.)
• In WSL, create a symbolic link which points to file/directory in Windows file system. (This makes Linux Tools happy.)

• Execute bootstrap.sh via bash to settting up WSL.

cd ~/dotfiles && bash bootstrap.sh

• Done 🎉
