BackUp of my main settings for Linux

Storage of my essential configurations needed for initial start of GNU operating systems

• bash
• git
• intellij
• note
• spacevim
• vim
• nvim
• zsh

Setup

Install Stow:

• Fedora

sudo dnf install stow

• Debian based distros:

sudo apt install stow

For more details about the commands use man:

man stow

The 'n' parameter is used for dry run, remove it if happy with the result.

To stow - apply the files (create symlinks in target from this repository):

stow -nvt ~ zsh

or for ALL - not recommended

stow -nvt ~ */

To unstow - delete symlinks and return the files:

stow -vDt ~ */

Add files to the repository

To initially move and create symlinks from the target files/directories first run and check the output from this command:

stow --adopt -nvt ~ */

Stow ZSH

There are some preparation needed before applying the configuration files.
Steps:

1. Install ZSH oh-my-zsh
   sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
2. Clone and install zsh-syntax-highlighting
3. Clone and install zsh-autosuggestions

Commands to manage gpg keys

Use man gpg for convenience.

Backup keys:

gpg --export-secret-keys --output backup

Restore keys from file:

gpg --import backup

Using ansible-vault to encrypt the file for better security:
$ANSIBLE_VAULT;1.1;AES256

ansible-vault encrypt backup
...
ansible-vault decrypt backup
