Config files and scripts to set things up.
Download and install zsh (with optional eye candy using oh my
zsh) early on so you can edit
.zshrc and related config files without having to create more work
by having to move a bash config.
The muharch.sh shell script is for configuring Arch.
The muhbuntu.sh shell script is for configuring Ubuntu and related
projects (Lubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.).
For now I am just manually linking the relevant files. Automating later will probably require running a PowerShell with some admin privileges. More info on making links here.
Summon an Elevated PowerShell by right clicking on the Start menu
and selecting Windows PowerShell (Admin).
New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "Link" -Target "Target"where the "Target" items are config files here and the "Path" items are the places apps (like emacs) will read from. I ran this a few times to also link the sub-directories of =.emacs.d= here that have some additional custom code.
New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Target "C:\Users\alan\github-stuff\alan-config\.emacs.d\init.el" -Path "C:\Users\alan\AppData\Roaming\.emacs.d\init.el"
New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Target "C:\Users\alan\github-stuff\alan-config\.emacs.d\lisp\" -Path "C:\Users\alan\AppData\Roaming\.emacs.d\lisp"
New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Target "C:\Users\alan\github-stuff\alan-config\.emacs.d\snippets\" -Path "C:\Users\alan\AppData\Roaming\.emacs.d\snippets"You'll of course want to change the names and directories above to
your own machine's settings (the ...\AppData\Roaming... stuff
structure should be same though).

For Windows, you'll want to get SharpKeys. Note that as of July 2020, if you do a fresh install of Nodejs, you'll be prompted with the option to install Chocolatey (package manager for Window), so SharpKeys should be readily available if you've already set up this tooling.
