# 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:
```bash
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](https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome) (Required):
The window manager itself.
- [Picom/Compton](https://github.com/yshui/picom) (Optional): A compositor to
avoid screen tearing.
- [Nitrogen](https://github.com/l3ib/nitrogen) (Optional): To setup the wallpaper
- [Rofi](https://github.com/davatorium/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](#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.
