Installation

First make sure u have all the requirements installed on ur system

1. Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/AlphaTechnolog/dwm.git dwm
cd dwm

2. Then, copy the configs:

IF EXISTS SOME CONFIGURATION FILES IN ~/.config | ~/.local/bin | ~/ IT'LL BE REPLACED

cp -r ./config/* ~/.config
cp -r ./bin/* ~/.local/bin
cp -r ./home/* ~/

Use xrdb to merge colors

xrdb merge ~/.Xresources

3. Compile dwm

cd ~/.config/dwm/src
test -f config.h && rm config.h
sudo make clean install

4. Compile st

cd ~/.config/st
test -f config.h && rm config.h
sudo make clean install

5. Create the launcher

If u're using a login manager like sddm or lightdm u can copy the .desktop to /usr/share/xsessions and replace in the file /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop the name gabriel to ur username.

sudo cp -r ./launchers/dwm.desktop /usr/share/xsessions
sudo nvim /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop # and change gabriel to ur username in the file

If u're using startx, u can copy the file xinitrc, that contains an example orders to execute dwm, feel tree to customize it:

cp -r ./launchers/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc

Then startx:

startx

Enjoy!

I hope u like this :3

if yes, please give me a star

If u want to use neovim without terminal padding and at exit get back ur terminal padding, use nv in st terminal :3
