My dotfiles managed by Nix, home-manager and nix-darwin.
I primarily use Macs, therefore this repo is (mainly) for darwin. However I do try to make it work on Linux as well.
Some features worth mentioning:
- Declarative macOS with nix-darwin
- zsh with p10k
- tj/n instead of nvm
- gpakosz/.tmux
- fzf-tab for completion
- Integration of fzf, fd, bat and lsd
- ^T: interactively select files in cwd recursively
?
to toggle preview- ^S ^D: page up/down
- ^O to open in
$VISUAL
(VS Code on macOS) - Alt-C: interactive cd
- ^T: interactively select files in cwd recursively
- Interactive git operations with forgit
On a new macOS machine w/o Nix installed:
xcode-select --install
# Install nix
bash <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon --yes --no-modify-profile
# Propagate /run
printf 'run\tprivate/var/run\n' | sudo tee -a /etc/synthetic.conf
/System/Library/Filesystems/apfs.fs/Contents/Resources/apfs.util -t
# Build the dotfiles
mkdir $HOME/.config
git clone https://github.com/birkhofflee/dotfiles $HOME/.config/nix
nix build "$HOME/.config/nix#darwinConfigurations.AlessandroMBP.system" --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes"
# Remove default nix config to mitigate https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin/issues/149
sudo rm -f /etc/nix/nix.conf
./result/sw/bin/darwin-rebuild switch --flake "$HOME/.config/nix#AlessandroMBP"
After first successful deployment, use the following command to switch:
darwin-rebuild switch --flake "$HOME/.config/nix#AlessandroMBP"
To update packages:
nix flake update .
nix flake update
