My dotfiles using Nix. System configuration done using nix-darwin and NixOS. User configuration using home-manager. This repo is put together as a flake using flake-parts. On NixOS home-manager is used as a NixOS module, on Darwin it is used separately from nix-darwin.

dotfiles.nix is inspired by terlar/nix-config, ~rycee/configurations and hlissner/dotfiles.

All Nix code in this repo is formatted using alejandra.

Usage

Show what this flake provides:

nix flake show

Switch both system (NixOS) and home:

nixos-rebuild switch --flake .

Switch system (nix-darwin):

darwin-rebuild switch --flake .

Switch home only (on Darwin):

nix run .#home

Build home without switching:

nix build .#home

Update all inputs:

nix flake update --commit-lock-file

Update a single input:

nix flake lock --update-input nixpkgs --commit-lock-file

Format all nix files:

nix fmt

Enter the dev shell (if not using nix-direnv):

nix develop

Tasks

TODO Break out emacs config

Emacs configuration should be in it's own repository. Lisp code should be extracted into separate files or an org-babel setup.

TODO Services as modules

Services should be converted to modules. These should ideally support both linux and darwin hosts (launchd and systemd).
