## Screenshot
---
These are all my dotfiles, even for the software I don't use anymore. Feel free
to copy and mix and match however you like, Most of this is taken from others'
configs. Some of it might even be the defaults.
The wallpapers can be found in my [Wallpapers](https://github.com/Swaykh/wallpapers) repo.
Most of these are taken from github repos and [Unixporn](https://reddit.com/r/unixporn)
The scripts I use for setting wallpapers and the Power Menu using rofi are in the
[scripts repo](https://github.com/swaykh/scripts)

sudo pacman -S --needed zsh neovim vim fzf eza bat btop fd ripgrep lazygit tmux tealdeer starship yazi cava rsync dua-cli sshfs swww mpv
```
#### Symlinks
Follow these steps (Beware that this will remove all your old configs. So prepare a back-up beforehand)
Git clone this repo and cd into it
```bash
git clone https://github.com/SwayKh/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
```
Next create all symlinks to link the dotfiles.
If you use [this project](https://github.com/SwayKh/linksym) you can
link all the dotfiles using
```bash
linksym update
linksym source
```
or you can use the bash script in the repo, Warning: This script is not up to
date, so it might not link all the dotfiles.
```bash
./linkdots.sh
```
There's also some configs, I've kept as backup. For eg
> - [Retroarch Config](./RetroArch/)
> - [vimrc](./.vimrc)
> - [KDE shortcuts file](./kde)
> - [VS Code Settings.json](./Code/settings.json)
> - [Emulation Station DE](./ES-DE)
## Hyprland
My Hyprland Configs and keybinds. My hyprland config is divided into various
different conf files to make it easier to navigate. I'll put the list of
programs I have installed in a note to make it easier to setup or choose some
alternatives to use.
Swaylock and Swayidle can be replaced with Hyprlock and Hypridle for Hyprland
## River
Recently switched to River as my WM/Compositor, after using Hyprland for a year.
The River config is a single shell executable init file that contains all the
configuration. Will a environments.sh file that is source from my .zshrc and a
custom scratchpad.sh script that mimics hyprland's create-on-empty feature for
scratchpads/Special workspaces.
