Useful for multi-tasking: Use Ctrl + Win + D to create a new desktop and Win + Tab to move stuff around desktops. After this set up multiscreen for all apps in each desktop. Now, use 4 fingers for a touchpad gesture to switch between desktops which is basically switching between apps because of full screen.

Getting to my current configuration

Install Chrome, Vimium on Bash, Bash on Windows, Zsh in bash, Hyper and VSCode

Remember to hide old repos in local GitHub folder by changing workspace setting

Hidden rn:

"files.exclude": {
    "**/.git": true,
    "**/.svn": true,
    "**/.hg": true,
    "**/CVS": true,
    "**/.DS_Store": true,
    "**/.vscode": true,
    "**/DevCircleTorontoHackathon-master": true,
    "**/Grade12_Assignments": true,
    "**/hungr.ai": true,
    "**/MessengerBotsHackathon": true,
    "**/mrgoose": true,
    "**/hyperzsh": true,
    "**/solarized": true,
    "**/wsl-terminal": true,
}

Set up aliases in Bash and use the same file for Zsh
Current Theme for Hyper: hyper-adventure-time
Current Theme for Zsh: Hyperzsh. Make edits in GitHub\hyperzsh\hyperzsh.zsh-theme
Set up .git/config properly. Or use Post Git based on powershell
- Use ssh://git@github.com/username/repo.git instead https://github.com/username/repo.git
Edit file .hyper.js in c/users/{username} and add local plugins in c/users/{username}/.hyper_plugins

Plugins installed in Hyper so far:

 'hyper-adventure-time',
 //'hyper-dracula',
 'hyper-dark-scrollbar',
 // 'hyper-pane',
 // 'hyper-hover-header',
 // need a "," add a new plugin on the next line
 //`hyperterm-mactabs`
 //'hyper-statusline',
 //'hyper-tabs-enhanced'
 //'hyperline',
 //'hyperterm-alternatescroll',
 //'hyperlinks',
 //'hyperterm-tabs'

Suggestion: Download the source repo and add it as local plugin for additional customization

Extensions installed on VSCode

Common Fixes

Forcing Git to overwrite local changes:

git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/<branch_name>

Alternatively, save your current local commits by creating a branch from master before resetting

git checkout master
git branch new-branch-to-save-current-commits
git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/master
