This repository serves as my way to help me setup and maintain my Ubuntu. It takes the effort out of installing everything manually. Everything which is needed to install my preffered setup is detailed in this readme. Feel free to explore, learn and copy parts for your own dotfiles. Enjoy!

Follow these install instructions to setup a new Ubuntu.

1. Set main download server
   1. Software & updates -> Ubuntu software -> Download from: Main server
2. Install git: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y git
3. Clone this repo
4. Run install.sh to start the installation
5. Restart your computer to finalize the process
   1. shutdown -r now

Your Ubuntu is now ready to use!

If you want to start your own dotfiles from this setup, it's pretty easy to do so. First of all you'll need to fork this repo. After that you can tweak it the way you want.

To add or remove applications, simply add or remove idempotent install scripts to the applications folder.

Ensure that the script-files have no suffix like .sh or similar. If they have a suffix they will not be run. This is due to the way run-parts is implemented.

Enjoy your own Dotfiles!

I first got the idea for starting this project by visiting the Github does dotfiles project. Both Zach Holman and Mathias Bynens were great sources of inspiration. Sourabh Bajaj's Mac OS X Setup Guide proved to be invaluable. Thanks to Taylor Otwell for his awesome Zsh theme! And lastly, I'd like to thank Maxime Fabre for his excellent presentation on Homebrew which made me migrate a lot to a Brewfile and Mackup.

In general, I'd like to thank every single one who open-sources their dotfiles for their effort to contribute something to the open-source community. Your work means the world! 🌍 ❤️
