I installed dwm 6.2 from source and tried to patch the fibonacci layouts patch, but it did not work right away (ie, git apply gave errors). So I have fixed the config.def.h and posting here in case it saves someone else some time (or more importantly, someone else who might give up on the functionality rather then spend that time). You need to
- Download file fibonacci.c from the patch URL https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/fibonacci/ and place it in your dwm folder
- sudo make install clean with this config.def.h
- keybinding for the 2 spiral layouts are Alt-r and Alt-shift-r
Note: I have terminator as my terminal. You can replace w/ whatever you like. The default is st terminal. I also have firefox opening on tag 3 automatically, you can change that.
