📓 dotfiles

This repo contains my configuration files for the programs I use, managed with nix through home-manager. It should work both on Mac and Linux.

Setup

🐧 Linux nix setup:

For linux, I'm using home-manager alone.

1. Install nix

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix >> nix.sh && sh nix.sh install && rm nix.sh

2. Add unstable channel

nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable

3. Link this repo's config (make s ure you're in the repo's local folder)

mkdir -p ~/.config/home-manager && ln -s $(pwd)/home-manager/home.nix ~/.config/home-manager/home.nix

4. Install home-manager:

nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager &&
  nix-channel --update &&
  nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install

5. Finally, run home-manager:

home-manager switch

And now, follow the steps to install home manager.

🍎 Mac nix install:

For Mac, I'm using both home-manager and nix-darwin.

1. Install nix

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix >> nix.sh && sh nix.sh install && rm nix.sh

2. Add unstable channel

nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable && nix-channel --update

3. Install brew manually since nix-darwin needs it:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" \
 && eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)" 

4. Update the mac's host-name to match with the one expected on the config, use one of these two:

   sudo scutil --set LocalHostName muaddib

   sudo scutil --set LocalHostName arrakis

5. Install nix-darwin

nix run nix-darwin --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes -- switch --flake ~/dotfiles

6. Setup fish's prompt, install doom emacs:

fish && tide-setup && install-doom-emacs

Some useful Nix references:

• CPP Flake Template
• The nix book
