🌊 WavyArch

I have just realised how awful my bash scripting is, I will probably refactor in the future

Bash script I use after a fresh installation of Arch to setup my environment and install applications.

Note

This script has been configured to work with the linux-zen kernel. You may encounter issues

Usage

git clone https://github.com/WaviestBalloon/WavyArch.git
cd WavyArch
chmod +x ./wavyarch.sh
./wavyarch.sh

Warning

Do not run this script as sudo! It will prompt you when it requires sudo permissions.
