Desktop shot at .config/rice/screenshot.webp, shown at the top of the root README and the rice one. Converted from the source PNG: it was 2.36 MB, and PNG recompression only got it to 2.30 MB because the sakura wallpaper is a photo. WebP at q90 is 0.38 MB with the terminal text still sharp at 1:1, which is worth it in a repo the installer clones in full.

dotfiles
Everything needed to rebuild my Arch + bspwm desktop on a bare machine: Sakura Line, a bspwm rice with a GTK control panel and a particle wallpaper layer.
Install
bash <(curl -fsSL https://git.srtk.in/sarthak/dotfiles/raw/branch/main/.config/rice/install.sh)
That one command installs the packages, clones this repo, checks it out over
$HOME, builds st and particles, and does the theming. It is safe to
re-run, and nothing in $HOME is overwritten without being backed up to
~/.rice-backup-<timestamp>/ first.
Add --dry-run to see every step without changing anything.

Why the repo looks like this
This is a bare repo tracking $HOME,
so paths are relative to your home directory and the top level only shows the
dotfiles themselves — there is no src/ or wrapper folder. The bootstrap lives
at .config/rice/install.sh because that is where it lands on disk.
Manage it with:
alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
dotfiles status
dotfiles add .config/polybar/config.ini
dotfiles commit -m "polybar: ..."
dotfiles push
That alias is in the tracked .bashrc.

Programs unrelated to the rice are deliberately not tracked.
Requirements
Arch is the first-class target — packages.txt is a pacman list, with
aur:-prefixed lines for the AUR extras. Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora are
best-effort: install.sh maps the package names it can and skips the AUR bits.
Licensed MIT where the vendored sources say so (st, particles, yazi plugins
keep their own upstream licenses).
