# Contributing
|
|
|
|
- Please, please, please, make multiple PRs if you have many features/fixes, and don't shove your personal changes along with the PR, including changed defaults
|
|
- I can accept features I do not personally want, but in that case I will ask you to make it configurable/optionally loaded
|
|
- If you want to start working on something big to contribute, it might be a good idea to ask first to not waste your effort (but if you've already done it for yourself, it doesn't hurt to submit)
|

# Code details
|
|
|
|
## Dynamic loading
|
|
|
|
- If something's not always necessary, especially when guarded by a config option to enable/disable, put it in a `Loader`. One tip with `Loader`s is sometimes you will need to declare positioning properties (like `anchors`) in the `Loader`, not the `sourceComponent`
|
|
|
|
## Practical concerns
|
|
|
|
- Make sure what you add does not require significant resources for a minor purpose or harm usability just for the sake of looking nice. The dotfiles must remain practical for daily driving.
|
|
- If there is something really fancy and impractical anyway, add a config option for it and make sure it's disabled by default.

# Setting up
|
|
|
|
Assumption: you have an Arch(-based) Linux system
|
|
|
|
## Complete
|
|
|
|
_might not be necessary depending on what you change, but this is recommended_
|
|
|
|
- [Install](https://end-4.github.io/dots-hyprland-wiki/en/ii-qs/01setup/) the dotfiles (if you don't wanna replace your stuff completely, do it on a new user)
|
|
- Make changes, copy changes to a fork, PR
|
|
|
|
## Partially working shell
|
|
|
|
_most stuff in the shell will work but not everything_
|
|
|
|
- Install Hyprland and the development version of Quickshell (`yay -S hyprland quickshell-git`)
|
|
- Copy `.config/quickshell` folder to your home directory
|
|
|
|
## Extra setup for Quickshell
|
|
- Quickshell-specific LSP setup: Run `touch ~/.config/quickshell/ii/.qmlls.ini` for proper LSP support
|
|
- Hint for VSCode: Get the official "Qt Qml" extension, go to its settings and change custom exe path to `/usr/bin/qmlls6`
|
|
|
|
# Running
|
|
|
|
- Launch Hyprland (not the "uwsm-managed" one)
|
|
- For the shell:
|
|
- Open `~/.config/quickshell/ii` in your code editor
|
|
- In a terminal run `pkill qs; qs -c ii` to start the shell in the terminal (for logs)
|
|
- Make edits in the opened folder. Changes are reloaded live.
