## Distro auto-install
This feature will install the basic dependencies automatically if you approve at the prompt, assumes that you have sudo access.
### Dependencies
These are pretty out of date like the dependencies list below. Your milage may vary if you choose to use the auto-install
I primarilarly use Arch, but these dotfiles also get installed to headless Debian servers.
It shouldn't be difficult to find an equilivant package for your distribution with the provided lists
Currently available for:
- Arch/Manjaro Linux (pacman+yay)
- Debian Linux (apt)
A list of the packages that I have installed can be found in the files `pacman.lst` and `pacman_aur.lst`.
Non-official packages come from the AUR, which can't typically be installed by pacman directly and the reason why it's a seperate list.
## Dotfiles Postinstall
You may create a standard text file called `.dotfiles.postinst` in your home directory before installing.
This file contains commands, one per line, that will be executed in order after the install script finishes.
### Dotfiles Postinstall
You may create a standard text file called `.dotfiles.postinst` in your home directory before installing.
This file is basically a bash script that contains commands, that will be executed after the install script finishes.
For example, you may want to add commands such as `git config --global user.name "My Name"` and `git config --global user.email "me@my.email"`
## Customizing Dotfiles
1. Fork this repo
2. Update `repourl` inside install.sh to point to your own
3. Make your changes
4. Push to origin
5. Install your new dotfiles everywhere
## Dependencies
My dotfiles now include my personalized i3 configuration if you also run the i3wm.

## Branch Info
This is the primary branch.
It includes changes that should be included in most, if not
all of the different configurations that may result of different
system use.
For now, there are the master, macos and workpc branches.
The workpc branch contains a lot of configuration from a base Manjaro install
