Getting Started

Glide is in "beta" and is recommended for early adopters.

Quick start with Cargo

First, install Rust and make sure you have the latest Xcode command line tools installed.

Optional: Read glide.default.toml and customize any config values in $HOME/.glide.toml.

Then, run the following:

git clone https://github.com/glide-wm/glide
cd glide
cargo run --release

Press Alt+Z to start managing the current space. Note: This will resize all your windows! See glide.default.toml for a list of key bindings.

Save and restore

If you need to update Glide or restart it for any reason, exit with the save_and_exit key binding (default Alt+Shift+E). Then, when starting again, run it with the --restore flag:

cargo run --release -- --restore

Note that this does not work across machine restarts.
