Polybar Manual

The official polybar documentation lives here.

The html documentation and man pages are built automatically when you build with cmake (cmake creates the custom target doc).

Preview Locally

The documentation uses Sphinx to generate the documentation, so you will need to have that installed.

To generate the documentation you first need to configure polybar the same as when you compile it (cmake .. in build folder). After that you can run make doc to generate all of the documentation or make doc_html or make doc_man to only generate the html documentation or the man pages.

Open build/doc/html/index.html to read the documentation in the browser.

The manual pages are placed in build/doc/man.
