DevEnv

A personal developer environment setup for Windows, including PowerShell configuration, Oh My Posh themes, and automated app installation via WinGet.

Setup

Quick Bootstrap (Recommended)

Run the following command in a PowerShell window to bootstrap the environment on a new machine:

Invoke-WebRequest -Headers @{"Cache-Control"="no-cache"} -UseBasicParsing "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hoopsomuah/DevEnv/refs/heads/main/bootstrap/bootstrap.ps1" | Invoke-Expression

This script will:

1. Detect or prompt you for a local path to clone the repo into (default: ~\src\DevEnv\)
2. Clone the repository
3. Run Configure-DevBox.ps1 to install apps and configure your PowerShell profile

Note: Configure-DevBox.ps1 must be run as Administrator.

Manual Setup

If you already have the repository cloned locally:

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator
2. Run:

   & "C:\path\to\DevEnv\bootstrap\Configure-DevBox.ps1"

This will:

• Set the PowerShell execution policy to RemoteSigned
• Install required PowerShell modules (posh-git, PSReadLine)
• Install minimum dev tools via WinGet (winget\min-dev.dsc.yaml)
• Optionally install additional dev apps (winget\dev-plus.dsc.yaml)
• Copy the PowerShell profile from pwsh\profile.ps1 to your profile location

Environment Variable

The scripts use the pwsh_devenv environment variable to locate the repository. It is set automatically by the bootstrap process. You can also set it manually:

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("pwsh_devenv", "C:\path\to\DevEnv", "User")
