So this is the easyiest way i have to write down my process of setting up my developer enviroment, thats VSCode and Git, with verification. At somepoint I want to move away from github to either codeberg or selfhosted forgejo but thats a later problem. if you are not me and are following this yourself you will need to change stuff that is specific to me

Things to install.

Git, VSCode, Bitwarden
Things I will need to have installed: flatpak.

1
sudo emerge -a sys-apps/flatpak
2
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flatpak https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Ok Cool time for the actually things

Git

1
sudo echo "dev-vcs/git +curl +webdav +perl keyring rust" >> /etc/portage/package.use/git
2
sudo emerge -a dev-vcs/git

Bitwarden

1
flatpak install flathub com.bitwarden.desktop

VSCode

1
sudo echo "app-editors/vscode wayland" >> /etc/portage/package.use/vscode
2
# this next one might not be nessesary depending on what licenses you agreed to when setting up gentoo
3
sudo echo "app-editors/vscode Microsoft-vscode" >> /etc/portage/package.license
4
sudo emerge -a app-editors/vscode

VSCode Wiki page

setup time :joy:

add email and user to git

1
git config --global user.email "dynamitegus@dynamitegus.au"
2
git config --global user.name "dynamitegus"

add this line to ./.config/fish/config.fish

1
# bitwarden ssh
2
set --export SSH_AUTH_SOCK "/home/angus/.bitwarden-ssh-agent.sock"

you then need to enable the ssh agent in settings in the bitwarden app

Check that it works:

1
ssh-add -L
2
# and
3
ssh -T git@github.com

Enable Gits signing you will need to put your public key in the path below

1
git config --global gpg.format ssh
2
git config --global user.signingkey /home/angus/.config/githubsshpublic.pub

intheory that should work. i might add other configs at some point but we’ll see.
