Clojurians Log v2

Thanks for the pointer to scoop, @malyn, it seems a lot more thought-out than chocolatey does

I'm considering uninstalling my chocolatey stuff and moving to it instead

You bet. I find it a lot simpler than Chocolatey and am actually able to create packages (manifests) in Scoop, whereas Chocolatey required all of this PowerShell knowledge that I simply do not have...

That's what I did. I moved everything I could from Chocolatey to Scoop. Scoop seems to be updated more often as well. I am sure that Chocolatey is good in some scenarios (maybe enterprise-y stuff?), but Scoop seems like a better fit for developers that spend a lot of time at the command line.

Oh, Scoop also has scoop export, which is awesome for bringing up your config on another machine! Even knows about things like that Gist path I pasted in earlier.

I'm a little fearful of getting rid of my git install from chocolatey, it was an enormous PITA to get it working in the first place

Yeah, Git on Windows can be rough. I got mine working long ago and try to avoid touching anything. 🙂 I did move Git from Chocolatey to Scoop though and it worked fine. I don't use the extra stuff (Git bash on PATH or the gui or whatever), so YMMV.

I mostly just need the actual binaries in my path, yeah. But I also have some symlinks from my WSL environment, and the whole setup just seems real fragile. Anyways, I'll probably go for it once I have a little more free time

And it will be your fault if everything is broken 😉

Uh, hmm.. how do I disconnect from Slack permanently... 😉

I'll find you :troll:
