REPO FOR AWESOME TECHY TECHY STUFF

This is just a place where I put things that I often use for work and play.

.bashrc and .vimrc

just useful stuff to both, either append them or add them with source

in my current role I have to use windows so all my Linux magic happens on a VM, here's how I set everything up

Install hyper-v if you don't already have it
Download your prefered linux distro, I use Ubuntu server
Setup your instance via hyper-v
Hyper-v doesn't automatically give the IP of Linux instance because... reasons? ¯\_(ツ)_/ Whatever the reason the instructions to see the IP are here
- run this in the terminal
  - sudo apt-get install "linux-cloud-tools-$(uname -r)"
  - you may have to play around with this a bit, install some other stuff and/or restart your machine
- Congratulations now you can get the IP and ssh in
Next you'll need to mount a shared directory (directory!!!! Not folder, we're engineers not users)
1. this URL covers the windows side far better than I can
  - https://linuxhint.com/shared_folders_hypver-v_ubuntu_guest/
  - You can ignore the Linux step, that's in step 2
2. add this to your bashrc
  - alias msha="sudo mount -t cifs //<computer name>/<path to shared directory> ~/shared -o user=$(whoami),uid=$UID,gid=$(getent group $(whoami) | cut -d ':' -f3)"
3. restart your bash and msha should automatically mount the directory
  - You'll probably notice that everything has execute, not sure why that is the case yet or how to fix it
