Prep

Linux / Unix

1. Install chezmoi somehow

Windows

1. Create a local bin directory

   mkdir -p "${home}\bin"

2. Install the following pre-requisite packages

   • git
   • vim

3. Download the latest release of chezmoi and put the binary in the directory listed above.

4. Ensure gvim is installed and is included in the path. You can get this in your powershell path via

   $vim_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\vim\vim81\"
   
   # Temporary
   $env:Path += ";${vim_path}"
   
   # Permanent
   [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(
       "Path",
       [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User) + ";${vim_path}",
       [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)

5. Permanently set the EDITOR user environment variable to vim.exe.

   $vim="${vim_path}\vim.exe"
   [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(
       "EDITOR",
       "${vim}",
       [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)

6. Create a chezmoi config file

   mkdir -p "${home}\.config\chezmoi\"
   vim "${home}\.config\chezmoi\chezmoi.yml"

7. Add an entry similar to the following

   ---
   merge.command: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim81\diff.exe'

8. Close and reopen powershell (it doesn't update the environment variables)

SSH Agent Config

It might be helpful to have your ssh keys managed via ssh-agent. To do this, from an administrator powershell:

# Enable the service & have it autostart. It might be disabled by default
Set-Service ssh-agent -StartupType Automatic

# Start the service
Start-Service ssh-agent
