The dwl project is available at [https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl][dwl].
This repository and the associated wiki is exclusively for dwl PATCHES.
## Patching
Since dwl follows [suckless] philosophy it doesn't provide every feature under the sun. To broaden dwl's functionality, one needs to get familiar with the concept of patching. To get your feet wet, consult [the hacking page] of the suckless website. Once you're ready to customize your build, proceed to the [dwl-patches wiki][wiki] which contains a categorized listing and a searchable sidebar index of all available patches.
Since dwl is still taking shape, patches may need to be updated after larger changes to the code. Feel free to contribute updated versions!
**Note**: These external patches are user-submitted content, and the authors of dwl cannot monitor them. Please download and review a patch before using it!
## Creating Patches
1. Create a [Codeberg] account and fork the [dwl] repository.
2. Create a branch in your repository for the patch you are generating and maintaining.
