-# st
-
-This is my patched version of st. The base version is directly from suckless.org.
-This belongs to my larbs installation script, but does not directly depend on it.
-It is supposed to work in the environment after the larbs-base-installation.
-
-## Patches
-
-The list below shows the currently applied patches to the master branch.
-
-- st-alpha-20220206-0.8.5.diff (adds transparency)
-- st-anysize-20220718-baa9357.diff (st leaves no gaps if the height/width doesn't match a multiple of
-  character height)
-- st-ligatures-scrollback-20230105-0.9.diff (scrollback compatible addition of ligatures)
-- st-scrollback-0.8.5.diff (add scrollback functionality)
-
-## Hotkeys
