A Fish shell based dotfiles management framework /
AppImages on WSL2
This is a reminder to self, for those times when you just gotta have vim and
fishdots on a recent version of fish shell (and someone upstream has
completely screwed up the CA certificates so you can’t use apt or linux brew
because they can’t be configured to relax cacert security).
First, create a place for them to live
mkdir -p ~/bin; cd /tmp
Now get fish shell
wget --no-check-certificate https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/shells:/fish:/nightly:/master/AppImage/fish-latest-x86_64.AppImage
chmod a+x fish-latest-x86_64.AppImage
./fish-latest-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract
mv ./squashfs-root/ ~/bin/fish_root
abbr -a fish ~/bin/fish_root/AppRun
Then download neovim
wget --no-check-certificate
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/v0.4.3/nvim.appimage
chmod u+x nvim.appimage
./nvim.appimage --appimage-extract
mv ./squashfs-root/ ~/bin/nvim_root
abbr -a nvim ~/bin/nvim_root/AppRun
Lovely. Now you have the one true shell and the one true editor. All’s well with the world.
