### WSL

Install via [nix-community/NixOS-WSL Quickstart](https://github.com/nix-community/NixOS-WSL?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start) :white_check_mark:

# checkout the appropriate branch
git checkout feat/wsl-neovim-update

### Clone repo SSH method
Skip this if you don't plan on getting SSH access to github repos and clone with HTTP instead
#### generate ssh
```
ssh-keygen -q -t ed25519 -N '' -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_github <<<y >/dev/null 2>&1

# echo 'older machines might not support ed25519, then use RSA with 4096 bit key'
# echo  'ssh-keygen -q -t rsa -b 4096 -N '' -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa_github <<<y >/dev/null 2>&1'

# add the output to https://github.com/settings/ssh/new
cat ~/.ssh/id_*_github.pub
# add to https://github.com/settings/ssh/new
```

#### activate ssh
```
echo 'adding key to ssh-agent'
eval `ssh-agent -s`  # if using fish shell run: eval "$(ssh-agent -c)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_*_github

# download dotfiles repo
git clone git@github.com:DannyDannyDanny/dotfiles.git

# config git
cd dotfiles
git config user.name "DannyDannyDanny"
git config user.email "dth@taiga.ai"
git config pull.rebase false
git config push.autoSetupRemote true
# more git config: https://blog.gitbutler.com/how-git-core-devs-configure-git/

# install dotfiles
bash install.sh

# hop back out
cd ..
