WSL Development Environment Setup

This repository contains scripts to automate the setup of a development environment in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). The setup includes various tools and configurations commonly used in development workflows.

Features

• Automated WSL installation
• ZSH shell with custom configuration
• Starship prompt with custom theme
• FZF (Command-line fuzzy finder)
• ZSH autosuggestions
• Various development tool configurations (Kubernetes, Docker, Python, Node.js, etc.)
• Automatic sudo privileges configuration

Prerequisites

• Windows 10 version 2004 and higher (Build 19041 and higher) or Windows 11
• Administrator access on your Windows machine
• PowerShell access

Installation Steps

1. Install WSL

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator
2. Run the installation script: powershell .\install_wsl.ps1
3. Restart your computer when prompted

2. Configure WSL Environment

1. Open Ubuntu WSL
2. Clone this repository: bash git clone <repository-url> cd new-setup-configurations
3. Make the setup script executable and run it: bash chmod +x setup_wsl.sh ./setup_wsl.sh Note: If the script fails to set sudo privileges, manually replace $USER in the script with your actual username.

What Gets Installed

• ZSH: Modern shell with enhanced features
• Starship: Cross-shell prompt with Git status integration, Python environment detection, Node.js version display, Kubernetes context, Docker context, and more
• FZF: Command-line fuzzy finder
• ZSH Autosuggestions: Fish-like autosuggestions for ZSH

Configuration Details

Starship Configuration

The setup includes a comprehensive Starship configuration with support for:

• Multiple programming languages (Python, Node.js, etc.)
• Container tools (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Infrastructure tools (Terraform, Helm)
• Git information
• System status

ZSH Configuration

The ZSH configuration includes:

• Command history sharing between sessions
• Kubectl alias (k)
• FZF integration
• Kubectl auto-completion
• Google Cloud SDK integration (if installed)

Customization

You can customize the setup by modifying:

• ~/.config/starship.toml for Starship prompt settings
• ~/.zshrc for ZSH configurations
• setup_wsl.sh for installation preferences

Troubleshooting

1. Sudo Privileges: If the automatic sudo configuration fails: bash sudo visudo Then manually add: your_username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

2. Shell Not Changing: If ZSH doesn't become your default shell: bash chsh -s $(which zsh)
