Software management

Get your software stack installed and managed in a breeze.

How?

By using Scoop, it's possible to install your software stack using simple powershell commands. The scripts in this repo take care of installing a number of programs I use daily for workpurposes.

Installation

Download the repo and execute ScoopFirstRun.ps, this will:

• install all apps defined in the script (ScoopFirstRun.ps)
• install some vscode extentions (Lib/ConfigureSoftware.ps1)
• install PowerlineFonts (Lib/ConfigureSoftware.ps1)
• install and configure OhMyPosh (Lib/ConfigureSoftware.ps1)
• configure file explorer: show extentions and hidden files (Lib/ConfigureWindows10.ps1)
• clear the desktop (Lib/ConfigureWindows10.ps1)
• set the keyboard (Lib/ConfigureWindows10.ps1)
• set the Windows 10 UI language (Lib/ConfigureWindows10.ps1)

This is my personal setup, best to make modifications to fit your personal needs.
