Installation

Prerequisites

• You're using the yabai tiling window manager on your system
• You're using a font with PragmataPro-style glyphs (afaik this means the PragmataPro font)
• Nix package manager is installed (optionally with nix-darwin)
• You have Alacritty installed

Steps

1. Clone this repo
2. Add barbq to your nix-darwin environment.systemPrograms array. Alternatively, nix-build release.nix and add the ./result directory to your PATH
3. Run the following commands (perhaps in a launchd service)

yabai -m rule --add app=Alacritty sticky=on
# You may need to change the path to Alacritty.app for your system
~/Applications/Nix\ Apps/Alacritty.app/Contents/MacOS/alacritty -d 180 1 --position 0 0 -e barbq

4. Barbq runs!
