============================
This is my personal customization of dwm.
dev
branch is used for customization (make dwm from this branch)
master
branch represents upstream
and reflects git.suckless.org/dwm
git checkout master
git pull upstream master
git checkout dev
git rebase --preserve-merges master
The --preserve-merges
option ensures that you don't have to resolve conflicts
which you have already resolved while performing merges again.
In case there are merge conflicts anyway, resolve them
(possibly with the help of git mergetool
), then record them as resolved
and let the rebase continue.
git add resolved_file.ext
git rebase --continue
If you want to give up, you can always abort the rebase
git rebase --abort
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if necessary as root):
make clean install
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
exec dwm
In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something like this in your .xinitrc:
while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
do
sleep 1
done &
exec dwm
The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.
