Scripts for bootstrapping my Linux environment. The initial script detects the distribution and runs the appropriate set of scripts.

• Arch
• Fedora
• Pop!_OS
• Ubuntu

Note: this is not fully baked yet.

To perform a full bootstrap from a minimal Arch install do:

sudo pacman -S curl && \
  source <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mapitman/linux-bootstrap/main/bootstrap)

To perform a full bootstrap from a clean Fedora install do:

sudo dnf install curl && \
  source <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mapitman/linux-bootstrap/main/bootstrap)

To perform a full bootstrap from a clean Ubuntu or Pop!_OS install do:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y curl git && \
  source <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mapitman/linux-bootstrap/main/bootstrap)

Before submitting changes, run the local validation script to check for bash syntax errors and shellcheck issues:

bash scripts/check.sh

This script:

• Finds all bash scripts (files with a bash shebang).
• Runs bash -n to check for syntax errors.
• Runs ShellCheck to report style and correctness issues.
• Suggests installation steps if ShellCheck is not available.

If ShellCheck is not installed, run one of the following depending on your distribution:

# Debian/Ubuntu/Pop!_OS
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y shellcheck

# Fedora
sudo dnf install -y ShellCheck

# Arch
sudo pacman -S shellcheck

When you open a pull request or push to the repository, GitHub Actions will automatically run:

• Syntax checks (bash -n) on all shell scripts.
• ShellCheck with error-level severity (warnings are advisory, errors block the merge).
