Wallpapers

This repository contains all of the Wallpapers that I regularly use on all of my systems (and phones). These wallpapers are usually actively in use in videos from my YouTube Channel, so if you're visiting this repo from there, thanks for watching, and I hope you can find what you're looking for.

Sample of Wallpapers

Installation & Usage

The reason these wallpapers are in a Git Repo, rather than a zip file on my website, is so that they can be easily downloaded as part of an installation script, or just quickly on the command line -- to that end, a simple git clone https://github.com/makccr/wallpapers, will do the trick. But as the years go on, and I'm committing more and more changes to the repo, that will become increasingly unfeasible (and already is a pain in the ass) Every commit in this repo, is not, a few lines of code, but a multi-megabyte image. As such, my recommendation is to instead use:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/makccr/wallpapers

This will download only the most recent branch of wallpapers, giving you access to all the images that can be browsed on the current version of this repo; but will not download the entire history of wallpapers.

Additionally the structure of this folder might seem odd. After cloning, the folder structure will be something like: ~/XMediaFolder/wallpapers/wallpapers/Xcollection/. This seems stupid I know, but it's important, when using this repo with a wallpaper setter like feh, or wal. Here we can run something like feh -r to recursively search the folder, and pick a random background from any of the collections. However, the standard /wallpapers folder also contains the .git directory, leaving feh trying to set git files as wallpapers. Therefore we have to bury our wallpapers one layer deeper: wallpapers/wallpapers/Xcollection.

Attributions

You can also view the wiki page for links to the original artworks (at least where I found them), and attribution information.
