Program Details

Essentials

base-devel/build-essential - Must have

Allows C/C++/Assembly programs work smoothly.

git - Repo management

Manages repos. This is used heavily for installing programs. Also used a ton as a developer.

Rust Related

cargo - Rust

Rust manager that comes with rustup. Used for installing lsd. Also used with nightly to install blink in nvim. Essential for rust development.

lsd - Pretty ls

Pretty ls output. Alias l for ls with icons and ll for ls -l with icons.

fnm - Node version management

Node management written in rust. A much faster version of nvm. Alias nvm since it is muscle memory and fnm should be used instead for performance.

uv - Python evironment management

This one is interesting. This config sets up a a python environment in $HOME/.venv and gets sourced automatically. This plays very nice with the zsh-auto-switch-vertialenv plugin. Any directory with .venv in it will automatically be sourced upon entry. It's like conda but faster and automatically focused on the current directory.

yazi - Miller pane tui file explorer

A file explorer that looks like the mac file explorer using miller panes. This one doesn't have a very good universal way to install, so the install script makes installation smoother by determining architecture, download from github release, and copy the binaries into /usr/local/bin.

Go Related

go - Programming language created by Google

Some of the programs are installed using go. This is installed by checking the latest version online and installing for the detected architecture. The package is untarred into /usr/local/go and /usr/local/go/bin is added to the PATH.

lazygit - The most incredible way to use git

A tui to represent git and all of it's beauty written and installed through go. Used heavily in tmux with prefix-G on dotmux.

Test Installer

The install_test.sh file runs a docker image for ubuntu (debian) or arch given a parameter ubuntu or arch. It creates a user with sudo priviledge and symlinks install.sh to /bin/doit. Just start the script to enter a test docker container and run doit to try it on the container.
