Hi! This is my AwesomeWM config. Thanks for checking it out!
The primary goal of this setup is to create an environment that:
- can be used easily on both my laptop and my touchscreen tablet
- integrates all the cli tools I use to manage my life into a nice dashboard
- looks awesome!
NOTE: This setup is incomplete, somewhat buggy, and under constant development. Because of that, I don't recommend daily driving it quite yet.
cd ~/.config/ && git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/garado/awesome_dotfiles.git awesome
Update configuration/apps.lua
with your default terminal/file manager/browser applications.
yay -S awesome-git gcalcli nerd-fonts-roboto-mono ttf-roboto picom-pijulius-git
pacman -S playerctl rofi scrot pamixer brightnessctl upower task timew ledger
Google Calendar events
- Follow instructions to set up gcalcli
- The calendar widget checks
~/.cache/awesome/calendar/agenda
for data (in tsv format). It will automatically fetch data if it detects that there is no data in the file. - To keep your widget updated, periodically update the cache by putting
gcalcli agenda --tsv > ~/.cache/awesome/calendar/agenda
in a cron job.
Pixela habit tracker
- Read these instructions to create a Pixela account and create your habits
- Install pi (command line Pixela tool)
- The install instructions on pi's Github page don't work, follow this:
go install github.com/a-know/pi/cmd/pi@latest
- Put
pi
(located in$HOME/go/bin
) in your path
- Set the
PIXELA_USER_NAME
andPIXELA_USER_TOKEN
environment variables - Update
user_variables.lua
with the habits you want to display - The
utils/dash/habits/cache_habits
script caches data from Pixela. Run it periodically with a cron job to keep your widget updated.
Finances tracker
- Update
user_variables.lua
with the ledger file to read from
