Documentation available at [quickshell.outfoxxed.me](https://quickshell.outfoxxed.me) or
can be built from the [quickshell-docs](https://git.outfoxxed.me/outfoxxed/quickshell-docs) repo.

repo.
# Breaking Changes
Quickshell is still in alpha and there will be breaking changes.
Commits with breaking qml api changes will contain a `!` at the end of the scope
(`thing!: foo`) and the commit description will contain details about the broken api.
# Installation
## Nix
This repo has a nix flake you can use to install the package directly:
```nix
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
quickshell = {
url = "git+https://git.outfoxxed.me/outfoxxed/quickshell";
# THIS IS IMPORTANT
# Mismatched system dependencies will lead to crashes and other issues.
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
};
}
```
Quickshell's binary is available at `quickshell.packages.<system>.default` to be added to
lists such as `environment.systemPackages` or `home.packages`.
The package contains several features detailed in [BUILD.md](BUILD.md) which can be enabled
or disabled with overrides:
```nix
quickshell.packages.<system>.default.override {
withJemalloc = true;
withQtSvg = true;
withWayland = true;
withX11 = true;
withPipewire = true;
withPam = true;
withHyprland = true;
}
```
Note: by default this package is built with clang as it is significantly faster.
## Arch (AUR)
Quickshell has a third party [AUR package] available under the same name.
It is not managed by us and should be looked over before use.
[AUR package]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/quickshell
> [!CAUTION]
> The AUR provides no way to force the quickshell package to rebuild when the Qt version changes.
> If you experience crashes after updating Qt, please try rebuilding Quickshell against the
> current Qt version before opening an issue.
## Fedora (COPR)
Quickshell has a third party [Fedora COPR package] available under the same name.
It is not managed by us and should be looked over before use.
[Fedora COPR package]: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/errornointernet/quickshell
## Guix
This repo works as a channel. Add the following to your channel list:
```scheme
(channel
(name quickshell)
(url "https://git.outfoxxed.me/outfoxxed/quickshell")
(branch "master"))
```
Then, you can install the package via `guix install quickshell-git` or by adding `quickshell-git` to your system or home definition.
You can also clone the repository and use `guix shell -f quickshell.scm` to try out the package.
