repo containing configs and scripts to set up a box

prerequisites

• when running on a fresh system, ensure package manager is configured
  • i.e. source repos, mirrors, etc. are configured
  • if on macOS, have to first install the package manager, homebrew
• zsh is installed (scripts are written for zsh)
• ensure sudo access is configured for the current user (2025-01-27, not needed on macos)
• export the env var BOX_SETUP_OS to indicate the operating system
  • options defined in set_script_env_vars file

script run

• git clone this repo (TODO: consider adding logic to handle automatically)
• from the repo's root directory, run ./box_setup

todo items

• config for nvim
• config for mpd, mpc, ncmpcpp
• config for ghostty
• config for mpv
  • also, on macos, get it to open within terminal or just don't install it
• config for gimp, src_files/.config/GIMP (dir)
  • set things in gtkrc only? still need to nest that within a sub dir?
  • or maybe just configure in gimp's gui, copy the whole resulting dir into src_files/.config/GIMP (edit out and delete what i don't need) and call it a day
• decide on window managers, then do config (for each OS; macos will likely be different)
• decide on and implement approach for languages and versioning
  • docker? or alternatives like podman? any license concerns?
  • asdf, or language-specific version managers?
  • hybrid of the above?
