Dot Files Readme

The dotfiles for both local and remote dev setup

Cloning the repo

If you're on a fresh install and need the installer, you can run:

git clone --recurse-submodules 

If you don't have the .gitmodules file denoting the link already run

git submodule update --init

If you DO have the .gitmodules file, but the folder is empty, just run this

git submodule update

otherwise just clone the repo as you normally would.

Update OhMyPosh using this command -

winget upgrade JanDeDobbeleer.OhMyPosh -s winget Reqs/commands PowerShellGet v1.6.0 or higher - can run "Get-Module" without quotes to check IF lower, run - Install-Module -Name PowerShellGet -Force

PSDOtfiles

• (WIP)

PSDotFiles Repo From the GitHub repo, states it's aiming to achieve a similar goal to GNU Stow, for Windows/PowerShell systems.

PSReadLine

Install-Module PSReadLine

Consider installing CompletionPredictor alongside PSReadLine also

• (Optional, but recommended)

Install-Module -Name CompletionPredictor -Repository PSGallery

Importing: PSReadLine

Import-Module PSReadLine

• Or add it to the top of your $PROFILE, the default location will open if you ran something such as:

nvim $PROFILE

Or if you don't have vim/nvim up and running yet:

notepad $PROFILE

Keep in mind, if you don't have this file already, you may need to create one. This can be done with the following command:

New-Item -Path $profile -Type File -Force

Importing: CompletionPredictor

Importing this can also be done the same as above, by adding to $PROFILE.

Import-Module -Name CompletionPredictor

• (Optional)

Consider moving/redirecting your profile loading to somewhere on local storage for loading speeds. If currently loading from One - Drive or another online source.

If at ANY STAGE after redirecting your $PROFILE call you happen to run:

$EDITOR $PROFILE

You will be opening the END-POINT file, not the re-direct, be aware of this and decide if you wish to move ALL your code to the new file (Recommended)

To do this, open the base version of $PROFILE from the above step, and use the following command to move the $PROFILE it's loading to location of your choice.

There is also a profile_stub.ps1 provided in the ./powershell/ directory

$profile = "C:\Location\Of\Your\Choosing\ProfileHoldingFolder\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1"
. $profile

Oh-My-Posh for prompt styling control etc.

For any of the PSReadLine commands that you may find online for custimization from other Uers, ensure you add this to the VERY top of your $PROFILE

using namespace System.Management.Automation.Language
