PowerShell Installation

• Install PowerShell

• Install the required tools and PowerShell modules

  # Required
  scoop install 7zip git # aria2
  scoop install oh-my-posh zoxide lsd bat ripgrep fd fzf
  Install-Module posh-git
  Install-Module PSFzf
  
  # Optional but recommended
  scoop install fastfetch cht tokei lazygit everything sysinternals
  cp .\bat\config ~\AppData\Roaming\bat\config
  cp .\lazygit\config.yml ~\AppData\Local\lazygit\config.yml
  .\sysinternals\ProcessExplorerColumnSet.reg
  ~\scoop\apps\7zip\current\install-context.reg
  ~\scoop\apps\everything\current\install-context.reg
  # Adding %USERPROFILE%\scoop\apps\git\current\user\bin to PATH is useful

• Configure PowerShell by executing notepad $PROFILE in PowerShell command line, you could refer to my profile.ps1

• Copy the theme file base16_bear.omp.json into %USERPROFILE%\Documents\PowerShell

• Configure %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig

  [user]
    name = Your Name
    email = u[email protected]
  [core]
    editor = nvim
  [diff]
    tool = nvimdiff

• Configure %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\config, thus you can push and pull from github via ssh with url [email protected]:user/repo. Of course, you need to add your own ssh public key to github first

  Host github.com
     Hostname ssh.github.com
     Port 443
     User git
     IdentitiesOnly yes
     IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key.pem

You could find the document for WSL configuration section here, the dotfiles for WSL/Linux is still in the repository.
