Yabai and Skhd Config
This repository contains my standalone Yabai and Skhd configurations.
See my dotfiles repository for my other configurations.

NOTE: Yabai requires System Integrity Protection to be disabled to work properly. See here for more information. NOTE: For macOS Big Sur and above, scripting additions needs elevated privileges to work properly. See here for more information.
