Hyprland-Simple-Setup	Arch/EndeavourOS Hyprland	Rust TUI installer, stow-based, complete package mgmt, modular configs
NeKoRoSHELL-DLux	Quickshell desktop shell	Replaces waybar/rofi/wlogout/SwayNC, QML panels, IPC

Proposed dwell integration

Phase 1: Unified source directory

Combine all configs into a single dwell-managed source dir with modular layout:

~/.local/share/dwell/
├── dot_config/
│   ├── hypr/
│   │   ├── hyprland.conf              # Main — imports sources/
│   │   ├── sources/                   # Modular Hyprland config parts
│   │   │   ├── keybindings.conf       # From Hyprland-Simple-Setup + retrilzzy

│   │   └── hyprpaper.conf             # Wallpaper daemon
│   ├── waybar/                        # Waybar configs (from garuda-hyprdots)

│   └── setup/
│       └── manifest.json              # Captured system state
└── README.md

Phase 2: dwell.toml module config

[data]
home = "/home/user"
hostname = "my-machine"

[packages]
system.pacman = [
    "hyprland", "waybar", "kitty", "fish", "wofi",
    "swaync", "btop", "cava", "fastfetch", "nvim",
    "hyprlock", "hypridle", "hyprpaper", "hyprpicker",
    "pipewire", "wireplumber", "networkmanager",
    "bluez", "bluez-utils", "blueman",
    "ttf-jetbrains-mono-nerd", "noto-fonts",
    "polkit-gnome", "xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland",
    "grim", "wl-clipboard", "satty",
    "stow", "fd", "fzf", "bat", "lsd", "zoxide",
    "brightnessctl", "playerctl", "pavucontrol",
    "firewalld", "thunar", "dolphin",
]

[modules]
enabled."programs.git".user.name = "grave0x"
enabled."programs.git".user.email = "grave@example.com"
enabled."programs.git".init.defaultBranch = "main"

Phase 3: dwell deploy pipeline

# Fresh install on new machine
curl -fsSL https://github.com/grave0x/dwell/raw/main/scripts/install.sh | sh
dwell init --clone https://github.com/grave-configs/dotfiles.git
dwell deploy

The dwell deploy command would:

1. Install all pacman/AUR packages from deps.toml
2. Apply all dotfiles
3. Run post-deploy scripts (stow, theme setup, etc.)
4. Sync to remote

Phase 4: Hybrid stow + dwell approach

Some of these repos (Hyprland-Simple-Setup, retrilzzy) use GNU stow for config management. dwell can coexist with or replace stow:

• Option A: dwell manages all files directly (pure dwell)
• Option B: dwell manages the stow package directory, stow handles symlinks (hybrid)
• Option C: dwell imports existing stow packages via dwell add

Acceptance criteria

• All 6 repos merged into a single dwell source directory
• dwell.toml configured with all packages and modules
• dwell deps scan detects all dependencies
• dwell deploy installs everything on a fresh Arch system
• dwell reset --all restores any modified file
• dwell setup capture captures the full system state
• dwell sync commits and pushes the config
