Termux Terminal on Android

1. Download Termux (terminal) on F Droid
   1. not on Google Play
2. Download the Termux:Widget | F-Droid
3. pkg update
   1. if it doesn't work: termux-change-repo
   2. select the first option
4. pkg install git
5. pkg install openssh
   1. ssh-keygen
   2. cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
   3. add SSH key to GitHub
6. termux-setup-storage
   1. give termux access to the file system via ~/storage
   2. no SD card access without root 😥
7. cd ~/storage/downloads
8. Install vim
   1. pkg install vim
9. Setup git
   1. git config --global pull.rebase false
   2. git config --global user.name "Fullchee Zhang"
   3. git config --global user.email "fullchee@gmail.com"
10. git clone git@github.com:Fullchee/notes.git
11. git clone git@github.com:Fullchee/private-notes.git
12. chmod 700 -R /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.shortcuts

}

cd ~/storage/downloads/notes
echo "Syncing notes"
sync

cd ~/storage/downloads/private-notes
