Personal Setup Script

This is a personal automation script designed for fresh Arch Linux installations. It streamlines the process of setting up directory structures, installing essential packages, and configuring the development environment according to my specific workflow.

DISCLAIMER: This script is tailored for my specific hardware and preferences. Review the code before running it on your machine. Use it at your own risk. I am not responsible for any data loss, broken systems, or package conflicts that may arise.

Features

• Automated Directory Structure: Instantly generates a clean hierarchy for Projects, Archives, Work, Resources, and Systems to keep the home directory organized.
• Package Management: Automatically installs and configures:
  • Core: base-devel, docker, neovim, zsh, git, and more.
  • GUI: kitty, waybar, rofi, thunar, discord, etc.
  • AUR: Handles AUR packages like zen-browser-bin using yay (auto-installed if missing).
• Dev Environment: Sets up rustup (nightly), bun, and oh-my-zsh out of the box.
• System Configuration: Applies global Git configurations, installs the Monocraft font, and syncs dotfiles.
