Termux Environment Setup Script

This script automates the installation and configuration of several tools to enhance your Termux experience. It sets up the fish shell with Starship prompt, Macchina (a neofetch alternative), and the Helix editor.

---

Features

• fish shell: A user-friendly and powerful shell.
• Starship: A fast, customizable, and universal prompt.
• Macchina: A modern system information tool.
• Helix: A post-modern modal editor.
• Installs openssh, sshpass, and git.

---

Important Note

Run this script ONLY on a fresh Termux installation. Running it on an existing setup might overwrite your current configurations.

---

Installation

You can run this script directly with a single command:

Main: bash <(curl -fSsLk https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Bonveio/da55d4c67d21f699dc8ea77f30c2205a/raw/01_termux.bash)

Mirror: bash <(curl -fSsLk https://shorturl.fm/CEhat)

The script will automatically install the necessary packages, configure your shell, and set up the themes. Once finished, it will switch your default shell to fish and start a new fish session.

---

What the Script Does

• Updates and upgrades Termux packages.
• Installs fish, starship, macchina, helix, openssh, sshpass,git and mosh-perl
• Configures Starship for the fish shell.
• Downloads and sets the Lithium theme for Macchina.
• Clears the default Termux MotD (Message of the Day).
• Changes the default shell to fish.

---

Post-Installation

After the script completes, you'll be in a fish shell session with Starship and Macchina configured. You can start using hx (Helix editor) for your text editing needs.
