# What is Arkanum

### 🚀 Starship prompt

We added the [Starship](./components/starship.md) prompt is as default in the integrated terminal. The default config uses Emojis and FiraCode icons.

### 🔱 git config

Added default git system config file with:

- code-server as default editor.
- disabled `aurocrlf`.
- enabled plain credential store for remote.
- added git log helper `lg1` + `lg2`.
- enabled bash completion for git command in integrated bash terminal.

> 💡 See [gitconfig-system](./components/git.md) for details.

### 🧙 `arkanum` helper

Added `arkanum` to help installing common runtimes in container.
This helps reducing the image size.

### 📝 Fira Code (NerdFont patched)

Added FiraCode as default font in editor and integrated terminal. The font files are embedded and can be used without local installation.

### 🦸 VSCode default settings

If your start the container or log in the first time, a default config file is deployed.

This user setting defines the following stuff:

- Use compact menu bar to avoid users with multiple menu bars.
- Use _One Dark Pro Darker_ theme
- Use _vscode-icons_ icon set
- Set FiraCode as default font in editor.
  - Tries to use alternate font names for FiraCode if its locally available.
- Sets FiraCode mono variant in terminal to enable icons used by starship prompt.
- Enables font ligatures
- Enables _auto save_ and _format on save_.
- Disables auto update for extension.
- Disables VSCode telemetry
- Disable confirm message for sync branches.

Additionally we install these extensions on container startup:

- [One Dark Pro](https://open-vsx.org/extension/zhuangtongfa/material-theme) theme
- [vscode-icons](https://open-vsx.org/extension/vscode-icons-team/vscode-icons) icon set
- [Gitlens](https://open-vsx.org/extension/eamodio/gitlens)

## 💣 Known Issues

### Starship.rs

Starship detects workspaces as active python projects. It always appends the prompt
fragment `via 🐍 (lsiopy)`. For now I disabled the python module in starship.

### 🐛 Default extensions installation timing error

If the automatic installation of the default extension fails, you can always retry he installation with the
following command:

```bash
# restart the installation
arkanum config install-extensions
# Optional: reset the vscode user setting
arkanum config reset-codesettings
# Reload with command F1 + Developer: Reload Window
```
