Because as developers we establish our workspace over the years to be most comfortable and effecient for ourselves. I've had to reinstall Windows or have gotten a new laptop a few times in the last few years and realize I don't have my favoirite setup and tools documented anywhere.
This is a very opnionated document because it's for myself. If you happen to arrive here, that's cool, leave me some comments if you see an error or have a suggestion, but don't get offened if I don't change my setup. It's personal after all.
Hi Ryan, you're installing from scratch...
- New PC, so make sure you're on the work domain first thing!
- Make sure you have local admin account.
- Install Chocolatey using PowerShell.
- Install Cmder using
choco install cmder, this will place your favorit console emulator at "C:\tools\cmder". - Install a good patched font from nerd-fonts and make sure it has ligatures.
- Follow the instructions here to setup a nice powerline prompt for bash and powershell, similar to Zsh's Agnoster theme.
These can be added to C:\tools\Cmder\config\user_aliases.cmd and make your life better.

You'll want to use choco to install your favorite (and not favorite but useful) applications.

Generate your SSH key using these instructions from BitBucket and add the key to your account.
Note, when you need to run the eval $(ssh-agent) command, do so in cmder in bash. It will save you a bunch of time.
You can install from the cmd line using code --install-extension. Also you can see what's installed by passing the --list-extensions flag.
Here are some extensions I like.
code --install-extension dbaeumer.vscode-eslint
code --install-extension DotJoshJohnson.xml
code --install-extension eamodio.gitlens
code --install-extension EditorConfig.EditorConfig
code --install-extension esbenp.prettier-vscode
code --install-extension formulahendry.auto-close-tag
code --install-extension Gruntfuggly.todo-tree
code --install-extension KamasamaK.vscode-cfml
code --install-extension liximomo.sftp
code --install-extension mikestead.dotenv
code --install-extension mrmlnc.vscode-duplicate
code --install-extension octref.vetur
code --install-extension PKief.material-icon-theme
code --install-extension sdras.vue-vscode-snippets
code --install-extension ms-azuretools.vscode-docker
Usually located at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\settings.json. Note that if you've not made any user settings in VS Code, the settings.json file may not already exist in the location above. That's fine, just drop the below JSON in a new file of that name.
