ConEmu optimized for Git-Win-SDK install instructions

1. Install Git-sdk-windows

• Install into \\%USERPROFILE%\\Git to avoid problems with white space
• run setup-git-sdk.bat in the 7zip file in a cmd shell.
• Run pacman -S man-db and any other additional packages. Also run mandb -cd post install
• Add path for git and git-core, e.g. ~/Git/usr/bin and ~/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core into Windows Path
• Run git config --global credential.helper manager to activate GCM. Test by git config --list, look for credential.helper=manager. You may need to install GCM first

  pacboy sync git-credential-manager:x
  

2. Setup bash customizations

• Copy dotfilesgit folder to ~, check that dotfiles like .bashrc and especially .git-prompt.sh are in the root folder.
• If this is a first install, run this script to create symlinks to dotfiles and git p4merge wrapper tools:

. ~/dotfilesgit/install.bash

• Install [p4merge visual merge tool](https://www.perforce.com/product/components /perforce-visual-merge-and-diff-tools)
• Download only the visual merge tool
• Check that C:\Program Files\Perforce is in PATH
• run install.bash script and check that extMerge and extDiff is in /usr/local/bin after running script

3. Set up dropbox remote for git

• Install git dropbox helper pip install git-remote-dropbox
• Create an Oauth2 token on Dropbox API developer console, and save as ".git-remote-dropbox.json" in dotfilesgit\dotfiles folder where a symlink script will link it to home folder
• connect to a repository, e.g. if dropbox repo is dotfilesgit
• cd to home, then git clone "dropbox://dotfilesgit"
• cd to the dotfilesgit folder, git checkout master to make working dir visible

4. Conemu install

• If ConEmu is not installed, choco install conemu or download the full packages
• Import conemu.xml, check in Tasks for Startup that Anaconda2 is callled correctly

5. Powershell setup

• Copy posh-git folder to %USERPROFILE% to enable poshgit

• alternatively git clone https://github.com/dahlbyk/posh-git.git into the %USERPROFILE% folder

• my Powershell $Profile has hardcoded location for posh-git as $env:USERPROFILE\posh-git

• Install Powershell community extensions - choco install pscx

• Set up $Profile

  Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
  New-Item -path $profile -type file -force
  

• Create a symlink for powershell $PROFILE to dotfilesfit folders

new-symlink $HOME\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 $HOME\dotfilesgit\powershell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1

• Install chocolatey with:

iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

6. Install Miniconda

• Preferably install to ~/Anaconda2
• In the conda cmd shell, update the root environment to that defined by .cmd/environment.yml

conda env update -n root -f environment.yml

• cp ./cmd/activate.bat and ./cmd/deactivate.bat into ~\Anaconda2\Scripts and .cmd/alias.cmd into ~
• Do not forget to add in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun with value %USERPROFILE%\alias.cmd

7. Add paths for notepad++, iview, acroread32 etc

• Also add putty and putty key (priv.ppk), dont forget to set auto-login as root under 'Connection->Data' and save session as "nas" to match Conemu startup tasks. Check that System Enviroment Variables (in Powershell $Env:path or Get-PathVariable if PSCX is installed)
