🌐 Released version of this Hyprland-Dots are being pulled by these Hyprland-Install Scripts

πŸ” It is highly recommend, that in order to update to newer dot files (Hyprland-Dots), re-download and re-run the -Hyprland scripts above.

  • This is because to ensure that apps / packages are properly installed. You will get the latest released version of the dotfiles.

πŸ”” Automatic copy of configurations

clone this repo by using git. Change directory, make executable and run the script

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots.git
cd Hyprland-Dots

to copy from upstream (possible bugs)

chmod +x copy.sh
./copy.sh

to copy from releases (more "stable")

chmod +x release.sh
./release.sh

πŸ—’οΈ Manual copy (not recommended for newbies) as I may have missed something

  • Backup your existing folders in ~/.config (advisable)
  • copy all contents of configs into ~/.config, overwriting all
  • copy contents of wallpapers into ~/Pictures/wallpapers/ (create wallpapers folder if required)
  • make the Hyprland scripts executable
chmod +x $HOME/.config/hypr/scripts/*
  • Make sure to execute initial symlinks else dunst, rofi and waybar will fail to launch
ln -sf "$HOME/.config/waybar/configs/<any waybar config of choice>" "$HOME/.config/waybar/config"
ln -sf "$HOME/.config/waybar/style/<any waybar style of choice>" "$HOME/.config/waybar/style.css"
  • NOTE: for the above commands, you should navigate in waybar configs & styles directories and choose layout and styles of choice. YOu can symlink any of the configs and styles of choice.

  • after that initialize pywal with wal -i path/wallpaper

  • then run this

ln -sf "$HOME/.cache/wal/colors-rofi-dark.rasi" "$HOME/.config/rofi/pywal-color/pywal-theme.rasi"

πŸ’” Updating dots

Note

Be sure to check the created the backup folders in ~/Pictures and ~/.config and delete as required. Hyprland-Dots v2.2 creates a backup whenever you ran either copy.sh or release.sh or even the distro-Hyprland install scripts

  • at the moment, to update dots is to ran the automatic copy of dots (see above)
  • after copy, log-out/log-in and then restore some settings from the created -backup folders in ~/.config/ . Previous ~/Pictures/wallpapers are also being backed up with file wallpapers-backup
  • I will maybe see in the future an easier way to upgrade
