This repository provides a personal configuration of dotfiles for Arch Linux users aiming to replicate a specific i3 window manager setup. It targets users who prefer a highly customized, keyboard-driven desktop environment and offers a streamlined installation process for replicating the developer's setup.

How It Works

The dotfiles configure i3-gaps for window management, Alacritty for the terminal, Polybar for the status bar, Zsh with Oh-My-Zsh for the shell, and Picom for compositing. The setup emphasizes keyboard shortcuts for nearly all actions, including launching applications, managing windows, and system controls, aiming for maximum efficiency.
