This is the main repo of the caelestia dots and contains the user configs for apps. This repo also includes an install script to install the entire dots.
Simply clone this repo and run the install script (you need
fish installed).
Warning
The install script symlinks all configs into place, so you CANNOT
move/remove the repo folder once you run the install script. If
you do, most apps will not behave properly and some (e.g. Hyprland)
will fail to start completely. I recommend cloning the repo to
~/.local/share/caelestia.
The install script has some options for installing configs for some apps.
$ ./install.fish -h
usage: ./install.sh [-h] [--noconfirm] [--spotify] [--vscode] [--discord] [--aur-helper]
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--noconfirm do not confirm package installation
--spotify install Spotify (Spicetify)
--vscode=[codium|code] install VSCodium (or VSCode)
--discord install Discord (OpenAsar + Equicord)
--zen install Zen browser
--aur-helper=[yay|paru] the AUR helper to use

Install all dependencies and follow the installation guides of the shell and cli to install them.
Tip
If on Arch or an Arch-based distro, there is a meta package available in the AUR
that pulls in all dependencies (caelestia-meta).
Then copy or symlink the hypr, foot, fish, fastfetch, uwsm and btop folders to the
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME (usually ~/.config) directory. e.g. hypr -> ~/.config/hypr.
Copy starship.toml to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/starship.toml.
Follow the Spicetify installation instructions,
copy or symlink the spicetify folder to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/spicetify and run
spicetify config current_theme caelestia color_scheme caelestia custom_apps marketplace
spicetify applyInstall VSCode or VSCodium, then copy or symlink vscode/settings.json and
vscode/keybindings.json into the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Code/User (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/VSCodium/User
if using VSCodium) folder. Then copy or symlink vscode/flags.conf to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/code-flags.conf
(or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/codium-flags.conf if using VSCodium).
Finally, install the extension VSIX from vscode/caelestia-vscode-integration.
# Use `codium` if using VSCodium
code --install-extension vscode/caelestia-vscode-integration/caelestia-vscode-integration-*.vsixInstall Zen Browser, then copy or symlink zen/userChrome.css to the chrome folder in your
profile of choice in ~/.zen. e.g. zen/userChrome.css -> ~/.zen/<profile>/chrome/userChrome.css.
Now install the native app by copying zen/native_app/manifest.json to
~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/caelestiafox.json and replacing the {{ $lib }} string in it
with the absolute path of ~/.local/lib/caelestia (this must be the absolute path, e.g.
/home/user/.local/lib/caelestia). Then copy or symlink zen/native_app/app.fish to
~/.local/lib/caelestia/caelestiafox.
Finally, install the CaelestiaFox extension from here.
Simply run yay to update the AUR packages, then cd into the repo directory and run git pull to update the configs.
Note
These dots do not contain a login manager (for now), so you must install a
login manager yourself unless you want to log in from a TTY. I recommend
greetd with
tuigreet, however you can use
any login manager you want.
There aren't really any usage instructions... these are a set of dotfiles.
