i3-make-config

Small tool to assemble my i3wm config file with a specific local config.

Expects config-base and an optional $HOST.config file; writes resulting config to stdout.

Looks for lines with the format LET var_name <rest of line is value for variable>; the last occurrence of a LET statement in config-base then in the host-specifc config file is the one with precedence. Any lines matching LET.. or #LET are not written out.

Any occurence of @<token> will be replaced with a variables set above. For example:

In config-base:

LET FONT Droid Sans Mono 14
LET WS1 1:Browser
...
font pango:@FONT
set $workspace1 @WS1

In myhost.config:

LET FONT Menlo 12

Then the resulting output will be:

font pango:Menlo 12
set $workspace1 1:Browser
