  • shell-bling-ubuntu

    A few scripts to be run on a fresh-off-the-presses Ubuntu VM, in order to get its shell nice 'n purdy.

  • Personally, I only really got into working at the shell once I started exploring all of the wonderful new programs that people have been writing to make it easy as pie to work with. I ended up collecting them all together into scripts I can `curl | bash` on any new Ubuntu machine: https://github.com/hiAndrewQuinn/shell-bling-ubuntu

    Obviously these scripts won't work on Mac. But I do list the programs I install in it right in the README, including what I consider the "Holy Trinity": `rg` (really fast line searching), `fd` (really fast file finding), and `fzf` (best described with examples: see https://andrew-quinn.me/fzf). These all work on my wife's Mac identically to how they work on my own Linux box, and they make the experience of working at a shell much more pleasant.

    Finally, install fish! https://mmazzarolo.com/blog/2023-11-16-my-fish-shell-setup-o... You can get back to Bash once you've gotten used to using the shell and find a reason to. Fish is much more pleasant, IMO, and I try to use it wherever I can these days.
