❓ Why use it?

Post install script for linux aims to quickly setup a system with the same configuration/software across multiple distros.

The scripts are meant to be reproducable and allow you to get to using your new system/virtual machine rather than try to replicate your already existing setup.

You only need to configure apps and configuration files once when changing the project to suit your own needs and be able to use it afterwards.

💻 Project location

By using the provided commands the scripts will be downloaded and unzipped in your language's Downloads folder
