As a software engineer I have to load a lot of Linux systems that process can take a long time to get the system the way I like to use it.

This repository is an attempt to automate the installation and configuration of the software of Linux systems to speed up the process as much as possible.

This repository assumes you are using a Linux system and running a BASH shell. You must also have git installed to clone the repository.

Clone the repository and run setup to configure the system.

Install git so you can clone the repository:

sudo apt-get install git

or

sudo dnf install git

Then clone the dotfiles repository:

git clone https://github.com/mbruzek/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles

To install the dot files into your home directory run the setup command:

./setup.sh

The setup script will run a distribution specific install script to set up your system, or exit in error. If the release of the operation system has not been created yet you can copy from one of the previous releases.

After that run any one of the other scripts in the ~/workspace/bash/ directory.

~/workspace/bash/pidgin_setup.sh

Do you have a different way to automate a new Linux desktop? Please let me know. Do you have different patterns that are not covered by this repository? Please contribute ideas here! Create an issue or a pull request if you have something useful or interesting to add.
