So I installed dwm from AUR using
yay -S dwm
dwm was installed and I have run it quite easily but I cannot find the config.h file to apply mods.
The output of
yay -Ql dwm
was :
dwm /usr/
dwm /usr/bin/
dwm /usr/bin/dwm
dwm /usr/share/
dwm /usr/share/doc/
dwm /usr/share/doc/dwm/
dwm /usr/share/doc/dwm/README
dwm /usr/share/licenses/
dwm /usr/share/licenses/dwm/
dwm /usr/share/licenses/dwm/LICENSE
dwm /usr/share/man/
dwm /usr/share/man/man1/
dwm /usr/share/man/man1/dwm.1.gz
dwm /usr/share/xsessions/
dwm /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop
I've checked each of these directories but I cannot find the config.h file for dwm. I've also checked /etc, ~/.local/share but the exact location of where dwm was installed is no where do be found. Can some one help?

The config.h is part of the source code you are expected to modify and relevantly recompile DWM with. So in your case the file you're looking for will be in ~/.cache/yay/dwm . You can either patch things directly and just rebuild the package with the existing source (note makepkgs -e flag) or create an actual patch that you apply as part of the PKGBUILD. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Patching_packages
Mod note, moving to AUR issues.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much.
