+# Monochrome Arch Wayland dotfiles
+
+Modular dotfiles for a Sway desktop on Arch Linux. The installer can install the
+required packages and creates symlinks back to this repository.
+
+## Install
+
+```sh
+git clone git@git.noroutes.net:owen/dotfiles.git ~/code/dotfiles
+cd ~/code/dotfiles
+./install.sh
+```
+
+Useful options:
+
+```sh
+./install.sh --no-packages   # only create links
+./install.sh --dry-run       # show what would happen
+./install.sh --help
+```
+
+Existing files are never deleted: conflicting paths are moved to
+`~/.dotfiles-backup/<timestamp>/`. Log out and choose Sway after installation.
+Use `Alt+Shift+r` to reload Sway and `Alt+d` to open Wofi.
+
+## Layout
+
+- `config/sway/conf.d/` contains focused Sway fragments.
+- `home/.zsh.d/*.zsh` is automatically sourced by `home/.zshrc`.
+- Neovim settings and mappings live in separate Lua modules.
+- The shared monochrome palette with blue accents is repeated in the native format each application
+  expects, so no template generator is required at runtime.
+
+## Single vs. dual monitor
+
+The same configuration works unmodified on the single-monitor laptop and the
+dual-monitor desktop:
+
+- Sway ignores `output`/`workspace ... output` directives that reference a
+  display name which isn't currently connected, so the desktop-specific
+  `DP-3`/`DP-2` positioning in `config/sway/conf.d/10-appearance.conf` is a
+  harmless no-op on the laptop.
+- `config/sway/scripts/select-workspace.sh` (bound to the workspace keys)
+  doesn't hardcode output names. It ranks whatever outputs are connected
+  left-to-right and maps workspaces 1-10 to the first, 11-20 to the second,
+  and so on — so it adapts automatically to however many monitors are
+  plugged in.
+
+## Secrets
+
+Nothing in this repository is or should be a secret. Machine-local
+credentials (e.g. the 1Password service-account token read by
+`home/.zshrc`) live outside the repo, in files under `$HOME` that
+`.gitignore` also excludes defensively should they ever end up in the
+checkout.
