Wallpapers

To choose a wallpaper, edit .config/awesome/theme.lua setting the path for your image in the theme.wallpaper variable.
Alternatively, edit .scripts/.fehbg to choose the path, then tell Awesome to execute that script by uncommenting the related line (just search for "feh" in the .config/awesome/rc.lua file).

Installation

If you want to straight up copy all the dotfiles (never recommended).

• Make sure you installed all the programs listed above as well as git (but you do already have it, right?).
• Install GNU Stow with your package manager (e.g.: pacman -S stow).
• Clone the repo into ~/.dotfiles.

  git clone https://git.tste.dev/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles

• Or update if you've already cloned it.

  cd ~/.dotfiles && git pull

• Stow will automagically symlink all the files in the correct directories.

  cd ~/.dotfiles  # Important or you'll make a mess
  stow .

  • To better understand what's happening, check this video out.
• If you get any errors saying files already exist, remove them or, even better, rename them to have a backup.

  mv ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc.bak

• Done!

Note

All the configuration files which are in use and have DistroTube's logo in them are modified versions of the originals, but are not copies.
Give a look at DT's dotfiles.
