# Dash to Dock
|
|
|
|
|
|
## A dock for the GNOME Shell
|
|
This extension enhances the dash moving it out of the overview and transforming it in a dock for an easier launching of applications and a faster switching between windows and desktops without having to leave the desktop view.

## Installation from source
|
|
|
|
The extension can be installed directly from source, either for the convenience of using git or to test the latest development version. Clone the desired branch with git
|
|
|
|
### Build Dependencies
|
|
|
|
To compile the stylesheet you'll need an implementation of SASS. Dash to Dock supports `dart-sass` (`sass`), `sassc`, and `ruby-sass`. Every distro should have at least one of these implementations, we recommend using `dart-sass` (`sass`) or `sassc` over `ruby-sass` as `ruby-sass` is deprecated.
|
|
|
|
By default, Dash to Dock will attempt to build with `dart-sass`. To change this behavior set the `SASS` environment variable to either `sassc` or `ruby`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export SASS=sassc
|
|
# or...
|
|
export SASS=ruby
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
|
|
Clone the repository or download the branch from github. A simple Makefile is included.
|
|
|
|
Next use `make` to install the extension into your home directory. A Shell reload is required `Alt+F2 r Enter` under Xorg or under Wayland you may have to logout and login. The extension has to be enabled with *gnome-extensions-app* (GNOME Extensions) or with *dconf*.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock.git
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
```
