Install Themes

Installing themes is easy. Run the following command to install.

Terminal window
echo "
alias themes-install ="git init $HOME; git remote add origin https://github.com/linuxthemes/base"
alias themes-update ="git pull"
alias themes-switch ="git checkout "
alias themes-create ="git -b checkout "
alias themes-remote ="git remote set-url "
" >> ./bashrc
Terminal window
themes-install

Or

Terminal window
git init $HOME; git remote add origin https://github.com/linuxthemes/base; git pull

This will create a git repository in your user home directory and sync the following file tree from the themes base repository.

Themes base keeps your current configuratin as default. All changes to the listed files in .gitignore are tracked, and can be reviewed before saving.

No programs are installed, only configurations for the programs.

Any tracked configurations will be applied when the program are installed and used.

To switch themes

Terminal window
themes-switch

Or

Terminal window
git checkout

Or create your own theme

Terminal window
git checkout -b

Back up to your personal repository with

Terminal window
themes-remote

Or

Terminal window
git remote set-url origin
