machine configuration via nix, nix-darwin, and home-manager

installation

install nix

i've used the Determinate Nix Installer

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install

clone this repo

mkdir -p ~/.config
git clone [email protected]:sloanelybutsurely/nix-darwin.git ~/.config/nix-darwin

build and activate flake

since darwin-rebuild isn't available yet, use nix run ...

nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake ~/.config/nix-darwin

this might take a while the first time. once it is done restart the shell.

clone remaining dotfiles

yadm should be available after switching for the first time.

yadm clone [email protected]:sloanelybutsurely/dotfiles.git

note: you might need to use chsh -s to set the nix managed fish shell as your default shell.

making changes

if you make changes to ~/.config/nix-darwin make sure all files are tracked by git and run darwin-rebuild

darwin-rebuild switch --flake ~/.config/nix-darwin
