Automator automates environment setup. Automator assumes you don't have even git installed, and then install the tools like git, node, dbeaver, postman, warp terminal, etc. It'll skip the installation of tools if they are already installed.
You can run this tool as many times as you want, and choose different options as per your choice.
You can choose among bash, zsh, or fish. I'd recommend to choose the fish shell as your shell program.

- Open the terminal
- Clone the repo, use wget as below if you don't have git
wget https://github.com/basantech89/project-automator/archive/main.zip -O project-automator.zip
- Unzip the zip file
- Give the app.sh file permission to execute
chmod +x <path-to-the-project>/app.sh - Run
<path-to-the-project>/app.sh
If the script fails, run it again, it'll pass unless there's a fatal issue.
Project automator store its logs in the <path-to-the-project>/main.log, and <path-to-the-project>/main-error.log files, so that you can check what it did at each step.
Don't forget to logout and login back in, or reboot your system once the script has been executed.
Optionally, run below command if you choose zsh as the shell. I couldn't do it in the script since oh-my-zsh creates problems with it. A cow will greet you with a fortune in a new session every time. It's done already if you choose any other shell.
sed -i '1s;^;fortune -s | cowsay -f `ls -1 /usr/share/cowsay/cows/*.cow | sort -R | head -1` | lolcat\n;' ~/.zshrc
Although the code is written to run the scripts for Linux(Ubuntu, and Arch Linux), or Mac and for shells fish, zsh, or bash, but the scripts are tested only with Ubuntu 22 with fish and zsh shells. I'll try to test it on other systems as well.
Below is how your terminal will look like in
Ubuntu with zsh shell
Ubuntu with warp terminal with fish shell
Ubuntu with neovim
Ubutu with the tools
