System Configurator Utility

This is a personal README which includes steps and utilities to set up a convenient development
environment on Windows and Linux. It includes a Python script to set up the command line and
development environment in a new Unix environment or for MinGW and git on Windows.

Windows

1. Install Sublime Text
2. Install MSYS2
3. Install Windows Terminal
4. Install git for Windows
5. Install VS Code
6. Install Ninja
7. Install WSL2

PowerShell

1. Allow executing PowerShell scripts

   Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine

2. You can create a Microsoft.Powershell_profile.ps1 file in the MicrosoftPowerShell
   folder which will be loaded when opening PowerShell. An example file is provided in the
   Windows/PowerShell folder

3. It is recommended to install posh-git for better
   git integration

Ubuntu

It is recommended to use the provided ansible notebook.
Install ansible first.

Two playbooks are provided: playbook-full and playbook-min.

Run minimal playbook:

cd unix/ansible
ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook-min.yml -K

Generating and signing commits with GPG

Follow this guide.

After generating a key, the secret key can be exported with the following command

gpg --output private.pgp --armor --export-secret-key <username/mail or key ID>

And then import this file with gpa or Kleopatra.

You can export the public key with the following command

gpg --output public.pgp --armor --export <username/mail or key ID>

This key can be uploaded to Github, Gitlab to allow verification of commits

Dual-Boot Configuration

You can disable the grub timeout by opening the /etc/default/grub file and setting
GRUB_TIMEOUT to -1.

In dual-boot configuration, Linux might mess with Windows times or vice-versa. You can fix this
by running following command

timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock
