Closed ElectricRCAircraftGuy closed 4 months ago

ElectricRCAircraftGuy commented 1 year ago

Add basic installation instructions for Ubuntu, as a demonstration for even the most beginner users.

Note: these instructions were first posted here: https://github.com/rtyley/bfg-repo-cleaner/issues/255#issuecomment-1500711841

Resolves #450

@newren , would you be willing to activate the community wiki for this repo? Then I'd just paste my info there.

:rocket:

I'm going to close this out. I think the Ubuntu instructions should just be apt-get install git-filter-repo, and that, as noted above, these instructions -- while they have good intentions -- is actually going to make it harder for most users and cause problems as per the many bullet points I listed above.
