# i3-jumpstart-with-testertech
Code for the YT video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeGjeEPlnQM
## Installation (Fedora)
```
sudo dnf install -y i3 i3status dmenu i3lock rofi feh light redshift-gtk redshift copyq arandr compton
```
### i3 volume (optional)
- https://github.com/hastinbe/i3-volume
## Aliasses
- You can put these in your ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_aliasses) it helps speed up the 'tinkering' a lot.
```
alias rxconf='vim ~/.Xresources'
alias vimrc='vim ~/.vimrc'
alias i3conf='vim ~/.config/i3/config'
alias bashrc='vim ~/.bashrc'
alias polyconf='vim ~/.config/polybar/config'
alias rexvt='xrdb ~/.Xresources && pkill urxvt'
```
## Configs
- 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.
- [i3 config](./config/i3/config)
- [.Xresources](./Xresources)
- [Polybarconfig](./config/polybar/config)
- [Compton](./config/compton.conf)
- For some more info, can also look at [dotfiles used in Fedora i3 spin TesterTech video](https://github.com/TesterTech/dotfiles)
### OPTIONAL i3 Gaps
- Basically i3 but with space between the tiles
- If you want to use i3 Gaps in stead of i3, do as below:
```
sudo dnf remove i3
sudo dnf copr enable fuhrmann/i3-gaps
sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install -y i3-gaps
```
and uncomment the i3 config:
```
gaps inner 7
gaps outer 7
```
