TerminalConfiguration

A repo to hold my terminal configuration. Feel free to use this as a reference for your own.

I use this to quickly set up my terminal between machines.

Windows Installation

1. Clone the repository

    git clone [email protected]:paulegradie/TerminalConfiguration.git

1. Install Oh-My-Posh (via the Windows Store) or run:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; Invoke-Expression ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://ohmyposh.dev/install.ps1'))

2. Set your execution privelages (Run As Admin plz)

   Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Confirm

3. Install Posh-Git

   PowerShellGet\Install-Module posh-git -Scope CurrentUser -Force

   OR

   choco install poshgit

4. Install your perferred font from WindowsTerminal/fonts by double clicking the font file or install your favorite NerdFont from nerdfonts.com.

   This is for supporting Oh-My-Posh themes ( you may need to go to your windows > Settings > Fonts - and install there).

5. Finally, run setup.ps1 from the WindowsTerminal directory and restart Windows Terminal

Non-Windows Installation

1. Clone this repo into your home directory

2. Copy the contents of the GitBash directory into your home directory.

Description:

Typically on terminal startup, the terminal will source your .bashrc, which will source your .bash_profile. So you'll want to place most of your configuration into the `.bash_profile``

// ~/.bashrc

#!/usr/bin/env bash
source ~/TerminalConfiguration/GitBash/.bash_profile

// and ~/.bash_profile

#!/usr/bin/env bash
source ~/TerminalConfiguration/GitBash/.bash_profile

Setting up git credentials

1. Install Git for Windows

2. Install VS Code

3. Create a new SSH Key

       ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
       # Paste your .pub key into the github settings ssh secrets
   

4. Create a ~/.ssh directory and add a config file with contents using vs code

       cd ~
       mkdir .ssh
       cd .ssh
       ssh-keygen
       code .ssh/config

5. Paste the following

       Host *
       IdentitiesOnly yes
       AddKeysToAgent yes
       TCPKeepAlive yes
   
       Host github.com
       HostName github.com
       User git
       IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
   

6. Go add the key to your github ssh key settings
