i3-jumpstart-with-testertech\nCode for the YT video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeGjeEPlnQM\n\n## Installation (Fedora)\n```\nsudo dnf install -y i3 i3status dmenu i3lock rofi feh light redshift-gtk redshift copyq arandr compton\n```\n### i3 volume (optional)\n- https://github.com/hastinbe/i3-volume\n\n## Aliasses\n- You can put these in your ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_aliasses) it helps speed up the 'tinkering' a lot. \n```\nalias rxconf='vim ~/.Xresources'\nalias vimrc='vim ~/.vimrc'\nalias i3conf='vim ~/.config/i3/config'\nalias bashrc='vim ~/.bashrc'\nalias polyconf='vim ~/.config/polybar/config'\nalias rexvt='xrdb ~/.Xresources \u0026\u0026 pkill urxvt'\n```\n\n## Configs \n- Note: must be placed in the ~/.config directory, be carefull when overwriting existing files, because the provided files are purely based on my own personal setup.\n- [i3 config](./config/i3/config)\n- [.Xresources](./Xresources)\n- [Polybarconfig](./config/polybar/config)\n- [Compton](./config/compton.conf)\n- For some more info, can also look at [dotfiles used in Fedora i3 spin TesterTech video](https://github.com/TesterTech/dotfiles)\n\n### OPTIONAL i3 Gaps\n- Basically i3 but with space between the tiles \n- If you want to use i3 Gaps in stead of i3, do as below:\n```\nsudo dnf remove i3\nsudo dnf copr enable fuhrmann/i3-gaps\nsudo dnf update -y\nsudo dnf install -y i3-gaps\n```\n\nand uncomment the i3 config:\n\n```\ngaps inner 7\ngaps outer 7\n```\n\n\n\n\n## References\n- [Video from Aline](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Api6dFMlxAA)\n- [i3wm
