Calle's Dotfiles

This is my take on Arch (especially hyprland in CachyOS) ricing, bear in mind, I am not a pro at this lol.

Warning

Disclaimer: These dotfiles are tailored for my specific setup and hardware. I cannot guarantee they will work for you.

Configuration

Caution

Always backup your existing configurations before applying new ones.

Important

You need to manually copy these files to your config directory. Crucial: Files may contain absolute paths (e.g., /home/calle/...). You MUST search and replace these with your own home directory path before restarting your window manager.

Manual Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/callei/Dotfiles.git ~/Dotfiles

2. Copy configurations: Copy the folders from .config to your local ~/.config directory.

   cp -r ~/Dotfiles/.config/* ~/.config/

3. Scripts: Ensure scripts in ~/.config/hypr/scripts and ~/.config/waybar/scripts are executable.

   chmod +x ~/.config/hypr/scripts/*
   chmod +x ~/.config/waybar/scripts/*
