+## Features / TODOS
++ All my dotfiles.
++ Step by step guide.
++ Resources and references.
++ Current list of recommended software.
+
+## Usage
+After installation, you should login as root instead of the user. As this gives us a chance to add users, change passwords, set groups, and change defaults.
+
+
+Step One: - [ ] Add users and assign passwords and groups <br>
+Where required, add users to groups such as custom, sudo, dialout etc...<br>
+
+`sudo useradd -m user_variable`<br>
+`sudo passwd user_variable`<br>
+`sudo usermod -aG user group`<br>
+
+Step Two: - [ ] Removing root login, and copying ssh keys.<br>
+Now that we have a new user, we can make some security changes.
+
+`sed -i 's/^PermitRootLogin yes/PermitRootLogin no/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config`<br>
+`sudo systemctl restart sshd`<br>
+
+Create and copy our ssh keys to server or instance.<br>
+`ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"`
+`ssh-copy-id username@remote_host`
+
+Disable password logins<br>
+`sed -i 's/^PasswordAuthentication yes/PasswordAuthentication no/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config`<br>
+`sudo systemctl restart sshd`<br>
+
+
+Step Three: - [ ] Update and upgrade<br>
+`sudo apt update` <br>
+`sudo apt upgrade`<br>
+`sudo apt dist-upgrade`<br>
+`sudo apt autoremove`<br>
+`sudo apt clean`<br>
+
+Step Four: - [ ] Download Packages TODO Add script
+`sudo apt install`<br>
+ 
+Step Five: - [ ] Change defaults <br>
+I like to change my XDG user directory defaults. Located at `/etc/xdg/`
+<br> TODO Add link for download and repo.
+
+Step Six: - [ ] Login as user and setup dotfiles<br>
+If you are already tracking your dotfiles and this a fresh install, you can run these commands:<br>
+`alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dot/ --work-tree=$HOME'` Alias config<br>
+`echo ".dot" >> .gitignore` Avoid weird recursion problems where you clone.<br>
+`git clone --bare https://github.com/Randy-Jordan/dot.git $HOME/.dot` Clone repo<br>
+`alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dot/ --work-tree=$HOME'` Current shell scope<br>
+
+You may already have some dotfiles, so we will back them up to avoid conficts.<br>
+`mkdir -p .config-backup && \
+config checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+\." | awk {'print $1'} | \
+xargs -I{} mv {} .config-backup/{}`
+<br>
+Now we can run the checkout command to get our dotfiles from the repo.<br>
+`config checkout`<br>
+Make sure to set untracked files setting.<br>
+`config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no`<br>
+
+`config status` To see status of your dotfiles.<br>
+`config add .xyzfile` To start adding dotfiles. <br>
