Installing

Manual

Clone the repo, cd to your desired tool, run make to build. To install, run make install. You may need root privileges.

Nix

In your configuration flake, add

{
  inputs.hyprland-contrib = {
    url = "github:hyprwm/contrib";
    inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
  };

  # ...
}

To make inputs available in your configurations, add this

# for Home Manager
homeConfigurations.YOURCONFIG = inputs.home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
  pkgs = ...;
  modules = ...;

  extraSpecialArgs = {inherit inputs;};
}

# for NixOS
nixosConfigurations.YOURHOSTNAME = inputs.nixpkgs.nixosSystem {
  system = "...";
  modules = ...;

  specialArgs = {inherit inputs;};
}

For the final step, add packages to your environment.systemPackages or home.packages in this format:

{pkgs, inputs, ...}: {
  environment.systemPackages = [ # or home.packages
    inputs.hyprland-contrib.packages.${pkgs.system}.grimblast # or any other package
  ];
}

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Please open a PR with your utility and describe how it helps the Hypr ecosystem. Also provide a screen recording if possible, demonstrating its usage. While developing bash scripts, it is recommended to use shellcheck for idiomatic ways to write them. If your utility is written in bash, please add it to the checks matrix.
