con-artist-my hyprland dotfiles

hello! i have made rather makeshift hyprland dotfile(dotfiles? idk) which is an accumulation of various bits of other people's dotfiles. i modified a few things and made it have more gui and cleaned the waybar and stuff, while trying to keep the minimalist look. but i digress. installation is pretty easy tbh.

installation

1. clone the repo, requires git to be installed

~/ git clone https://fal1109.github.com/con-artist

2. run the install.sh script

~/ cd con-artist

~/ sh install.sh

the script may remove your existing .config file so please back them up.

3. copy the dotfiles[WARNING: this will remove your existing .config file, please consider backing them up if they are necessary]

cp -r con-artist/.config ~/

cp con-artist/.zshrc ~/

cp con-artist/.bashrc ~/

i do not really know if the script will do these commands successfully or not so this is mostly a precautionary step.

4. select a wallpaper using waypaper or the wal command. this will start up the waybar.

that should be all ^-^
