## Overview
**Firestarter** is a desktop environment startup script. Its job is to abstract out the startup and configuration of basic X session components. By default, it will attempt to piece together a fully functional desktop environment based on currently available programs and configuration files found in `~/.config/firestarter`.
**Firestarter** is a desktop environment startup script/service manager. Its job is to abstract out the startup and configuration of basic X session components. It will attempt to piece together a fully functional desktop environment based on currently available programs and configuration files found in `~/.config/firestarter`.
## Installation
Execute `firestarter` in your `.xinitrc`, either by replacing the file or by `exec`ing it after performing your own basic setup. You do not need the rest of the files in the repository, but a `git clone` and a regular `git pull` *is* an effective way of keeping the script up-to-date.

Additionally, you will need to configure Firestarter. See the section below on how to do that.
```bash
cd
git clone https://gitlab.com/rehashedsalt/firestarter .firestarter
[ -e "~/.xinitrc" ] && mv "~/.xinitrc" "~/.xinitrc.bak"
ln -s .firestarter/firestarter .xinitrc
```
