Installation

$ cd .config/awesome
$ git clone https://github.com/radosroka/awesome.git

Then, set the variable chosen_theme in rc.lua to your preferred theme, do your settings, and restart Awesome (Mod4 + ctrl + r).

To customize a theme, head over themes/$chosen_theme/theme.lua.

Otherwise, if you want to be synced with upstream, modify theme_path variable in rc.lua like this:

-local theme_path = string.format("%s/.config/awesome/themes/%s/theme.lua", os.getenv("HOME"), chosen_theme)
+local theme_path = string.format("%s/.config/awesome/themes/%s/theme-personal.lua", os.getenv("HOME"), chosen_theme)

then, copy theme.lua to theme-personal.lua and do your customizations there.

This way, you can safely git pull anytime.

Notes

Complements are provided by lain.
