Desktop

Desktop Installation

Install TranslucentTB : A lightweight utility that makes the Windows taskbar transparent.
Install PowerToys : A set of utilities for power users to tune and streamline their Windows experience for greater productivity.
Install Snipaste : Offers powerful yet easy-to-use snipping, pasting and image annotating functionalities.
Install Captura : Capture screen, audio, cursor, mouse clicks and keystrokes.
Install dual-key-remap : Remap CapsLock to Escape when pressed alone and Ctrl when pressed with other keys. Don't forget to enable administrator access or else it doesn't work on administrator applications.
Install a nerd font : A patched font within high number of icons. I've merged two font families into one called NerdCodePro, so font engines will use different font on regular and italic style.
Install a cursor theme you'd like.
Press Win+I and check if there are any settings that need to be changed.

cp .\bat\config ~\AppData\Roaming\bat\config
cp .\lazygit\config.yml ~\AppData\Local\lazygit\config.yml
cp .\everything\Everything.ini ~\AppData\Roaming\Everything\Everything.ini
.\sysinternals\ProcessExplorerColumnSet.reg
# Adding %USERPROFILE%\scoop\apps\git\current\user\bin to PATH is useful
# To add 7zip and everything to explorer context menu, open app window and click the menu Tools > Options
# To add `open with neovim in terminal`, refer to ./nvim/install-context.reg

Insall PowerShell modules

scoop install oh-my-posh zoxide lsd bat ripgrep fd fzf
Install-Module posh-git
Install-Module PSFzf

Configure PowerShell by executing notepad $PROFILE in PowerShell command line, you could refer to my profile.ps1
Copy the theme file base16_bear.omp.json into %USERPROFILE%\Documents\PowerShell

Configure %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig

[user]
  name = Your Name
  email = username@email.com
[core]
  editor = nvim
[diff]
  tool = nvimdiff

Configure %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\config, thus you can push and pull from github via ssh with url git@github.com:user/repo. Of course, you need to add your own ssh public key to github first
```
Host github.com
   Hostname ssh.github.com
   Port 443
   User git
   IdentitiesOnly yes
   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key.pem
```
You could find the document for wsl configuration section at here, the dotfiles in wsl/linux is still in the repo.
