-Scripts to setup distros how I like

Initial os install is also automated using a separate repo called

+initial bare os, the rest is automated from scripts in this repo.
This is not meant for other people to run verbatum, but for them to read
and copy the good parts. It has dependencies on other repos at

-The main thing missing is any automation for the directory structure
-those repos live in. So you would need to lookout for paths starting with
-/a and adjust them.
+The main thing missing for someone else to use things is the expected
+location of repos in the filesystem. So you would need to lookout for

Background: reasoning behind using /a: The home directory is typically
used for local software development, but I use paths like /a instead,
on a hardcoded path with no username in it, so let's just do that.
2. The home directory is inconvenient. It's filled with a bunch of junk
-you don't care about, which makes directory listing horible, makes it so
+you don't care about, which makes directory listing horrible, makes it so
you can't back it up easily (for example, gvfs mountpoint in it breaks
lots of things), and has things you don't want to backup. So, you could
use a subdirectory. But typing /s is much faster than ~/s and in every
root context, /home/username/s.
-With that established, some more details of what directories I use. I
-have a data filesystem, and if the system has ssd & hdd, I have 2 data
-filesystems. I mount them to single letter root directories, and then
-split them into data I do and don't mind being public, then bind mount
-them to other single letter directories. When I'm working on something a
-lot, I symlink it to another top level directory.
