Development environment setup

I put most of my dotfiles config stuff here. I try keeping as much up to date as I can (even though I usually update them when I switch to a new machine). Feel free to open an issue if you got any suggestions, questions, etc...

Since Pop!_OS is the distro I have used for most of the time, I have a script that automates the post-installation setup. It includes installing essential packages, configuring settings, and setting up some development tools (it's right there: postinstall.sh). But it's not completely automated for all the things I use.

Note

Currently using bash but I plan to switch to zsh; Text editor: I use vim and neovim as text editors (Neovim can also be my IDE).

Node.js

Currently using fnm

curl -fsSL https://fnm.vercel.app/install | bash

Then corepack to install pnpm

npm install --global corepack@latest

corepack enable
corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate

Docker

1. Install Docker engine and Docker Compose
2. Follow post-install steps
3. (optional) Add podman to manage containers, pods and images
