ST-USER(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, meet st-user — it's the st reconfiguration helper and launcher script. two jobs, one icon. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

st-user

that's it. no flags, no args, just vibe. 🦋

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so st-user is a lil helper script that runs st for you and reconfigures it when it needs reconfiguring. lowkey doing the most so you don't have to. 🫶

running st-user starts the Fedora build by default. no cap. 🎀

but if you wanna customize your config — and bestie, you know you do — you drop your st configuration header file into $HOME/.st/config.h and adjust it however your heart desires. the official Fedora configuration file might be a useful template for you, fr fr. (check the FILES section down below, i gotchu 👇)

and here's the ✨magic✨: every single time your user config file has changed, or new patches have been added, st-user will rebuild your user st binary before it runs it. not me being responsible with my builds 😭💖

also, Fedora utilizes alternatives to decide whether the system build — which is also installed as st-fedora — or the custom build gets run. and if a custom build is available? custom builds are preferred. periodt. 👑
