My Ubuntu Configuration

This repository contains my current linux environment configuration. It facilitates a quick and easy setup on other Ubuntu systems. This is how it looks after setup:

I. Prerequisites

1. Make sure the terminal supports 256 colors so that zsh shows proper colors. This can be done by running the following command on your terminal:

   tput colors

   The output should be 256.

2. Set $TERM=xterm-256color.

II. Setup

This will create a backup of your current configs and install the following:

• curl
• tmux
• oh-my-zsh
• nvim
• miniconda

It will also override the configs of the following after taking a backup of the current configs:

• ssh
• terminator

Start Installation

1. Run this command to start environment setup:

apt install -y curl && \
