✨ NAME ✨

i3-migrate-config-to-v4 — the lil glow-up fairy that migrates your i3 config file 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mv ~/.i3/config ~/.i3/old.config
i3-migrate-config-to-v4 ~/.i3/old.config > ~/.i3/config

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so bestie, i3-migrate-config-to-v4 is a Perl script and its whole job is taking your old config files (as in, < version 4) and migrating them into a version 4 config file. no cap. 🪄

the biggest glow-up here? the new commands — that's the most significant change, so go peek at the release notes if you wanna know the details. 📝

here's the tea though: this script will automatically be run by i3 whenever it detects an old config file. so like, it's got your back. but please — and I mean please — migrate your config file as soon as possible. 🫶

⚠️ real talk: the plan is to include this script in all i3 releases until 2012-08-01. after that? old config files will no longer be supported. periodt. so don't be the person still running an old config in September, it's not giving. 😭
