This repository and the associated wiki is exclusively for dwl PATCHES.
## Patching
Since dwl follows [suckless](https://suckless.org/) philosophy it doesn't provide every feature under the sun. To broaden dwl's functionality one needs to get familiar with a concept of patching. To get your feet wet, consult [the hacking page](https://suckless.org/hacking/) of the suckless website. Once you're ready to customize your build, proceed to the [dwl-patches wiki](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/wiki) which contains a categorized listing and a directly searchable sidebar listing of all available patches.

1. If work has been done to the main branch at [dwl](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl) since you started work on your patch, REBASE YOUR PATCH!
2. In your local clone of your codeberg dwl fork, add a remote for the main dwl repository:
`git remote add codeberg-dwl https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl`
3. In your local clone of your codeberg dwl fork, create a .patch file
`git --diff codeberg-dwl/main > PATCHNAME.patch`
4. Fork https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches
5. In your dwl-patches fork, add a directory called `PATCHNAME` and place the `PATCHNAME.patch` you created in the `PATCHNAME` directory. You may also place screenshots in the `PATCHNAME` directory that you can later reference in your [dwl-patches wiki](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/wiki) entry.
6. Use the Codeberg web interface to send a pull request (PR) to [dwl-patches](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches) (NOT to [dwl](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl))
7. WHEN YOUR PULL REQUEST IS APPROVED, your Codeberg user will have commit access to [dwl-patches](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches) and you can then replace your `PATCHNAME.patch` file when you updated it. At this point, you will also have access to commit to the [dwl-patches wiki](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/wiki)
