I am working on an alternative to dmenu. My goal for it is to be fully configurable via a toml file. Most importantly it shall be able to toggle between types of entries (desktop entries, /usr/bin) on the fly. As of now, it is a less mature version of j4-dmenu-desktop and progress is slow. But it works as my daily driver on i3wn, both on my work VM and my personal laptop. So I can live with slow progress.

I prefer to keep tooling for that at a minimum. Therefore I use git only. My approach is taken from here: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles The only difference: My git alias is dotfiles not config. I find that to be less confusing. Additionally, I source system-specific configs, where appropriate. These are not stored in dotfiles. There is a small todo section in my readme.
