Auto-Rice Arch Linux

This project is to bootstrap a fresh Arch Linux installation with all the basic tools I need.
Inspired by i3wm-themer, actually, I'm using 004 theme here :)

Usage

curl -L https://bit.ly/p31d3ng-ricing -o a.sh && sh a.sh
After all installation, please reboot your machine! (or logout and log back in then do sudo systemctl start lxdm)

Screenshots

Customizations (You can always disable them in YAML)

The script will create a group whose members can run any sudo command without password.
Default shell is BASH, but chsh -s $(which fish) is highly recommended after installation
Xmodmap for emulating HHKB layout! Once you go HHKB you'll never go back :)
Using my personal VIMRC which is minimal but with auto-completion.
Using Emacs keybinding in VS Code with some minor changes. Yes I'm using VIM + Emacs at the same time!

How to customize your own installation scripts (YAML based config system)

`./post-ricing-tasks.yaml` for running post-ricing tasks.

- name: "vscode-exts"
  description: install extentions for VS Code
  enable: true
  depends: # optional field
    - optional-aur-pkgs
  scripts:
    - loc: "tasks/install_vscode_exts.sh"
      params:  # optional field
        - "packages/vscode-exts"

You can add a new YAML list item to execute any script you want.
If nothing is at scripts: - loc, the task won't run
If enable is set to fasle, the task won't run
If dependent tasks are not executed because of any of the two reasons above, the task won't run

`./dotfiles/config.yaml` for customized configurations for installed packages.

- name: "Xmodmap"
  action: replace
  config_loc: ~/.Xmodmap
  ref_loc: Xmodmap
  skip_for_vm: true  # optional field

supported actions:
- replace: it's actually a wrapper of cp -r
- append: a wrapper of cat file >> config
- insert_json: it will append content to and indent the artifact JSON file.
config_loc: the (config) file that need to be changed or overwritten
ref_loc: location for your custom config file, the base folder is dotfiles/files
skip_for_vm: if set to true, the task will not run while in virtual machine
