I3 Window Manager - ansible role
=========================================
Install and deploy a basic configuration of [I3 Window Manager](https://i3wm.org/) via ansible.
Optionally configure your resolution, which applications will be bound to which screen and what will be included in the autostart.
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
```
