Please see our lord and savior devaslife

  • git
  • any certs where necessary
  • WSL
  • scoop
    • Run Powershell (Regularly), not as administrator
    •       Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
      Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://get.scoop.sh | Invoke-Expression

scoop install fzf
Install-Module -Name PSfzf -scope CurrentUser -Force
scoop install gcc
scoop install make
nvim
# wait until lazy does its thing
cd C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\AppData\Local\nvim-data\lazy\telescope-fzf-native.nvim
make

  • Powershell Customization

  • Setup git config and rsa keys

  • Powershell (Run as administrator) -> Set-Service ssh-agent -StartupType Automatic

    • I think this is a Git executable sort of thing

  • I mean, we're really only using this for Visual Studio C# and dotnet development

  • Install VSCode and Visual Studio

    • VSCode for misc. powershell scripts and related, this is because it's much more lightweight than visual studio

Visual Studio

  • .NET development
  • C++ development (tooling for binary installs)
  • Catppuccin Theme
  • VsVim Extension
    • Load _vsvimrc here: C:\Users\User\_vsvimrc
  • Edit.GoToAll (Ctrl+,) it Code Search
    • remap that to Ctrl+F

Powershell Snippets and Settings

  • Equivalent of unix man pages: Get-Help <command> -ShowWindow
  • Getting all env's in powershell: gci env:* | sort-object name
  • Open file explorer at current path: ii .
  • Redraw entire screen when display updates (This might make it appear faster)
  • Use CaskaydiaCove NerdFont (FiraCode is too sharp for windows)
