st - simple terminal

This repo is a fork of st - a simple terminal emulator for X which sucks less.

Requirements

In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.

make
sudo make install

Following patches are already applied:

alpha - for transparent background
anysize - makes the inner border size dynamic
clipboard - enable copy after select text
dracula - nice theme
scrollback - scroll back through terminal output (shift + PgUp/PgDn or shift + mouse wheel)

To apply another patch use following command:

git apply -3 --ignore-whitespace /path/to/patch.diff

But be careful. When patch modifies config.def.h copy these changes to config.h and reset state of first file:

git reset HEAD config.def.h
git checkout -- config.def.h

Then repeat installation process.

Add upstream to original repo:

git remote add upstream git://git.suckless.org/st

Every time you want to sync type:

git fetch upstream
git checkout master
git merge upstream/master

This brings your master branch into sync with the upstream repository, without losing your local changes. For reference check this github article

Then repeat installation process.
