Usage

First, clone this repository: Since I use the same repository to host a number of things across different branches, it can become quite large. Download only the relevant branch:

git clone -b old --single-branch --depth=1 https://github.com/purhan/dotfiles

Select your favourite window manager and follow the guide for it given below.

Awesome

• Install the following packages:

  • Awesome window manager (Required): The window manager itself.
  • Picom/Compton (Optional): A compositor to avoid screen tearing.
  • Nitrogen (Optional): To setup the wallpaper
  • Rofi (Optional): A Dmenu replacement (to launch your applications).

• Create a backup of your old configuration (if it exists).

• Choose your favourite setup from the gallery. Copy the contents of $REPO/src/.config/awesome/<setup-name>/ to your config directory (~/.config/awesome/)

• Go through ~/.config/awesome/configuration/apps.lua and replace the default apps with the ones you use.

• Go through ~/.config/awesome/theme/ and replace the fonts with your favourite ones, or install the ones already listed.

• [Optional] Copy $REPO/src/.config/compton.conf and $REPO/src/.config/rofi/ to your ~/.config directory.

• [Optional] Launch nitrogen and select your favourite wallpaper. The configurations run nitrogen --restore to setup the wallpaper on startup.
