I3 Window Manager - ansible role
=========================================

Install and deploy a basic configuration of [I3 Window Manager](https://i3wm.org/) via ansible.<br/>
Optionally configure your resolution, which applications will be bound to which screen and what will be included in the autostart.<br/>
If you want to use wayland instead of xorg, think about using [sway](https://swaywm.org/) as window manager. The corresponding ansible is located on [github.com/roles-ansible/role-sway](https://github.com/roles-ansible/role-sway.git).

### Get it directly from Ansible Galaxy
```bash
$ ansible-galaxy install l3d.i3wm
```
