### Reload fonts in Debian
```bash
dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig fontconfig-config
```
### Install on Debian distros (Kali, Debian, Ubuntu, etc)
For Debian based Linux distros you need to install `libxft-bgra` for the emojis to show.
#### For win-kex (Kali in Windows WSL)
After you install `dwn` you will need to modify: `/usr/lib/win-kex/xstartup`
Here is an article I wrote on the subject: [How to change Window Manager (GUI) for win-kex](https://jeannicolasboulay.medium.com/how-to-change-window-manager-gui-for-win-kex-7b6a749f423b)
#### Install libxft-bgra
You might need to install it outside of the package manager. If the package manager has `libxft-dev` `libxft2` than you are golden!
You need to install `libxft-bgra` before `st` and `dwm`. If you want the emojs.
```bash
cd ./lib/libxft
# Make sure it is the right branch --> libXft-2.3.4-debian
git branch -a
# Install
sh autogen.sh --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
```
### Install `dwm`
Inside the dwm source:
```bash
sudo make install
```
### Install `st`
Same as `dwm`.
## Git
### Add module
```bash
git submodule add [url]
git add [...]
```
### Change branch for the module
```bash
git checkout -t [branch]
git add [add again the dir of the module]
git commit [...]
git push
```
Don't forget to update where you have clone the repo:
```bash
git submodule update --recursive
```
### Add upstream
If you are working on the lib `libxft-bgra` you need to do this step.
```bash
git remote add upstream git@gitlab.freedesktop.org:xorg/lib/libxft.git
git remote set-url --push upstream DISABLE
```
Then to verify that evrything was added correctly for the upstream:
`git remote -v`
This is what you should see:
```bash
origin git@github.com:jnbdz/libxft.git (fetch)
origin git@github.com:jnbdz/libxft.git (push)
upstream git@gitlab.freedesktop.org:xorg/lib/libxft.git (fetch)
upstream DISABLE (push)
```
To pull changes from the upstream (verify that you are in the right branch first):
```bash
git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master
```
