Bash-scripts

The core of this repository is a set of Bash-scripts in 📂 .bashrc.d that are sourced as part of 📄 ~/.bashrc.

See 📂 install for installation instructions.

Static modifications

Apart from the Bash-scripts, there's a set of static/manual modifications in 📂 static.

WSL2

To setup a WSL2 instance, copy 📄 wsl.conf to 📂 /etc — on the Windows-side, copy 📄 .wslconfig and 📄 .wslgconfig to 📂 %USERPROFILE%.

See 📂 static/linux/etc and 📂 static/windows for further details.

Several of the Bash-scripts rely on the modifications made in these configuration files to function properly.

systemd

In their default state, the Bash-scripts and configuration files assume the WSL2 instance is running systemd. See 📂 static/linux/etc for instructions on how to use Microsoft's /init instead.

systemd - Caveats

Although generally speaking, systemd works fine, there's a handful of caveats to be aware of:

• It is recommended to change the default target to "multi-user.target":
  • sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
  • See https://github.com/arkane-systems/bottle-imp#requirements
• To prevent systemd-remount-fs from failing (resulting in a "degraded"-state), remove the LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs-line from /etc/fstab
  • Ubuntu-specific – apart from this, fstab should be empty; as the entry didn't do anything to begin with (no filesystem labelled cloudimg-rootfs present) it seems safe to remove...
  • See https://randombytes.substack.com/i/74583493/systemd-remount-fsservice
• See 📂 /usr/lib/binfmt.d if you're running into issues with WSL-interop

Development

Linter / pre-commit

A large array of linters and formatters is used to ensure consistent formatting and – where possible – more elaborate sanity-checking.

Pre-commit is used as a convenient way of generalising linter execution; its package management features are barely used – most of the linters in-use need to be installed locally anyway for their respective VS Code extensions...

To set up pre-commit, follow the below instructions. This assumes a system running Debian/Ubuntu with Node/npm, Python3/pip, and Go already installed.

./.github/scripts/setup-pre-commit.sh
pre-commit install
