Script Options

• --themes-only: install only themes
• --minimal: install minimal config + themes
• --complete: install complete config + themes (default)
• --branch : remote branch to use (default: main)
• --repo : remote repository URL (default: https://github.com/xscriptordev/helix)

What the installer does

• Detects local repository or downloads it remotely:
  • Uses git if available, otherwise downloads a tarball via curl or wget and extracts it with tar.
• Installs themes into ~/.config/helix/themes from the repository themes.
• Installs either minimal or complete Helix config into ~/.config/helix/config.toml from:
  • Minimal: settings/minimal/config.toml
  • Complete: settings/complete/config.toml
• Creates a timestamped backup of an existing ~/.config/helix/config.toml by default. You can disable it with --no-backup or bypass with --force.
• Default mode is --complete to leave Helix ready with the “x” theme; you can switch later to any theme included.

Requirements

• Helix installed on your system
• git (optional), curl or wget, and tar (required for non-git download)

Selecting a theme

• Set a theme in your Helix config:

  theme = "x"

• Available themes are installed in ~/.config/helix/themes (e.g., "oslo", "tokio", "berlin", etc.). Change the value to any theme filename (without .toml).
