This represents the minimum working environment the author requires to be fluent on any Unix-like system.
It does not contain tools as such, it provides clue to combine some of them intelligently so as to be more efficient.
Cloning this repository into an otherwise empty
home directory is a good way to start, :-)
If the target directory is no longer empty, proceed as follows (note that files/directories of the same name already present will be overwritten):
cd /path/to/target/dir
git init
git remote add mwe <url-to>/mwe.git
git fetch mwe
git branch mwe-master --track remotes/mwe/master
git checkout mwe-master
If you can spare the master branch in
/path/to/target/dir, the commands can be somewhat
simplified. If yours is not yet a repository connected upstream
via an origin remote, you can use that name for the
remote. This allows further simplification.
If your PATH settings don't contain
~/bin yet, remember to either arrange for it
manually, or simply open another login shell.
It is recommended to link as many items from the location of the
repository clone into your home directory. This is
especially true of all the rc-files.
