This folder contains my modular config for the i3 window manager.
There is a git commit hook that triggers the genconf script after
any changes in this folder. The script moves the old i3/config file
to /tmp, and then builds a new one. All machines share snippets/base, and then
depending on the snippet names listed in profiles/$HOSTNAME more config will be added.
The profile file simply defines a list of snippets, such as laptop, desktop, and
other snippets as needed, and the script will then take the contents of the files
in snippets/$snippet and append them to the base config.
This allows you to have arbitrarily structured config across all of your machines. If two machines share any config, odds are you can factor it out into a snippet and have them both reference it.
This modular config makes it very easy to propagate updates to any number of machines, since the commit hook is guaranteed to run on every pull.
