Welcome to my dotfiles repository. This is where I keep the configuration for my personal computer setup.

How to setup computer to use nix+nix-darwin

Install nix

sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install)

Command to initialise a new flake

nix flake init -t nix-darwin --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes"

Ensure nix symlink

~/.config/nix should be symlinked to nix/.config/nix in this project

First time building flake

nix run nix-darwin --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" -- switch --flake "$(readlink -f ~/.config/nix)#personal-m4mbp"

Updating flake

This updates the inputs so the next time the flake is rebuilt it will install the most up to date packages.

cd nix/.config/nix
nix flake update
cd ../../..

Rebuilding flake

sudo darwin-rebuild switch --flake "$(readlink -f ~/.config/nix)#personal-m4mbp"
