An interactive set of post-installation and maintenance scripts for Ubuntu. They're designed to install your favourite applications, set your preferred settings, etc. mostly automatically.

Do feel free to contribute back to this original, potential improvements are appreciated.
This project's settings adjustments, app lists and functions are tuned to the original author's preferences, I suggest maintaining a fork of this project with changes to those to adjust it to your liking.
This project is coded and organized in a modular fashion so you can easily delete or exclude parts that you don't want to use.
data: this folder contains files which are lists of packages read by various functions. You should to update these lists to suit your preferences.functions: this folder contains the main functions of this scriptset. They should require little user-preference modification.apps: this sub-directory contains all functions for the installation of third-party applications –those that aren't necessarily in the main repositories. You can add/remove these as you like.
You can add more functions to install additional third-party apps by easily editing one of the many already included functions, as they are written pretty generically, you need only change the variables. Though there are a few templates readily available for adding functions.
When you do add (or remove) functions be sure to update the main thirdparty function to reflect those changes, else the script will fail.
You use these scripts, you can just run the main script from the root of the source folder:
./ubuntu-post-install-script.sh
Or you can add the location of this project to your custom shell paths to run it on-demand. For example, adding it as the following line to your .bashrc (editing the path appropriately):
export PATH=${PATH}:~/ubuntu-post-install/
