wsl-setup

Install WSL

Open the Powsershell and run the following command:

wsl --install

Update & Upgrade script

We start with adding a update script to Linux, so we can simply update the whole system with one command.

sudo nano /usr/bin/update

The script looks like this:

#!/bin/bash

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt dist-upgrade -y
sudo apt autoremove -y

Just copy the script with the button in the top right corner and paste it into nano. Press CTRL + X and then Y + ENTER. Make the script executable by typing

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/update

Now you can just use the command update and type in the admin password.

Oh My Zsh

First install the zsh shell with the command:

sudo apt install zsh -y

Then install ohmyzsh:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

When asked if you want to with to the zsh shell press Y + ENTER.

Node Version Manager

First install the node version manager and then install the node lts version.

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
source ~/.zshrc
nvm install --lts

Now enable yarn as an alternative to npm.

corepack enable

Git & GitHub

Git

Install the newest git version:

sudo apt install git -y

Add your git credentials to your config file:

git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com

SSH

Add SSH to connect to GitHub without entering the username and password.

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"

Enter a file in which to save the key (/home/you/.ssh/algorithm): [Press enter]

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [Type a passphrase]

Enter same passphrase again: [Type passphrase again]

Add the ssh key to the ssh agent:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

GPG

Generate a new GPG key pair:

gpg --full-generate-key

Please select what kind of key you want: [ENTER]

What keysize do you want? [4096]

Key is valid for? [ENTER]

List the long form of the gpg key pair:

gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format=long

Add the gpg key pair to your git config:

git config --global user.signingkey GPG-KEY-ID

If you want to automatically sign your commits use:

git config --global commit.gpgSign true

Add this line to your .zshrc file:

[ -f ~/.zshrc ] && echo 'export GPG_TTY=$(tty)' >> ~/.zshrc
gpg --armor --export GPG-KEY-ID

Now we add the gpg key pair to github in the browser under your settings page.

GPG & VS-Code

If you use WSL in combination with VS-Code, you need to setup the GPG pinentry dialog for Windows.

Install the simple installer of the current GnuPG:

GnuPG - Download Page

GnuPG - Direct Download Link v.2.3.6

Edit the gpg-agent config so it shows the pinentry dialog in Windows:

nano ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

Paste the following inside:

default-cache-ttl 34560000
max-cache-ttl 34560000
pinentry-program "/mnt/c/Program Files (x86)/gnupg/bin/pinentry-basic.exe"

Restart the gpg agent:

gpgconf --kill gpg-agent

Keychain

We use the Keychain to save the passphrase to our SSH key, so we don't have to type it with every git command.

Install the keychain tool for Ubuntu:

sudo apt install keychain

Open the zsh shell config and append the following code:

nano ~/.zshrc
# Keychain
/usr/bin/keychain $HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519
source $HOME/.keychain/$HOST-sh
