Usage

1. Install Git for Windows*
1. `curl -Lks https://bit.ly/setup-cfg | /bin/bash`
   `curl -Lks https://vipc.de/setup-cfg | /bin/bash` (alternatively)
   (or call `./bash-utils/setup.sh`)

Optional

1. Configure `.settings`
1. Configure `~/.ssh/config` (for more info, see https://linux.die.net/man/5/ssh_config)
   On Windows, make sure all keyfiles and config itself have appropriate rights:
       .ssh > Properties > Security > Advanced
           * Disable inheritance
           * Only current user may access this file
1. Theme can be chosen using `theme` command. If using pureline:
  1. Install a powerline font, e.g. Cascadia Code PL from https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code
  1. Use the chosen powerline font in your desired Console Host
  1. Configure `themes/.pureline.conf`
1. Add a repository specific URL (in case of ssh: `"[email protected]:<username>/")` shorthand in .gitconfig, e.g.:
   ```
    [url "https://github.com/<username>/"]
        insteadOf = "gh:"
   ```
1. If you have writing access to the repo, add a remote:
  1. Log in to your git repo to be able to configure push
  1. `cfg push -u origin HEAD`
1. If using neovim:
   ```
   mkdir $LOCALAPPDATA/nvim
   vim $LOCALAPPDATA/nvim/init.vim
   ```
   Then set the contents of that file to the following (note: there are no symlinks in windows):
   ```
   set runtimepath^=~/.vim runtimepath+=~/.vim/after
   let &packpath=&runtimepath
   source ~/.vimrc
   ```

*To enable nano, check the appropriate box during installation. setup.sh takes care that line endings of .nanorc are Unix style (LF).

Enabling multiple GitHub credentials

Normally, it should be possible to configure local credentials, which overwrite global (which override system). This however does not work. Workaround: use store for private credentials, manager-core for team credentials, swap using aliases:

1. Create C:/Users/<user>/.git-credentials (containing private credentials)
   • https://<user>:<password>@github.com
2. Remove [credential] section from system config (needs an admin user)
   • git config --system -e
3. Swap with provided aliases team, priv or use push_wiki()
4. To change credentials in Windows Credential Manager, open the search box and type "credential manager" (en) or "Anmeldeinformationsverwaltung" (de).

Creating private key authentication (e.g. for login.sh)

• On local system
  • ssh-keygen.exe -t rsa -C "[email protected]"
  • Copy ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to remote system
• On remote system
  • touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  • cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
