Nix-darwin + home-manager

This is my personal configuration for nix-darwin with dotfiles and tools.

setup

1. Clone this repo
2. Install homebrew
3. Install nix
4. Install nix-darwin

Run the initial setup which will build all the derivations which may take a while.

6. Override /etc/nix-darwin dir with this repo

Update your machine name in flake.nix

darwinConfigurations."MacBook-Pro"

Update username & home path in flake.nix

users.users.vaporif = {
  name = "vaporif";
  home = "/Users/vaporif";
};

Inside home.nix

  home = {
        homeDirectory = "/Users/vaporif";
      username = "vaporif";

7. Apply config

sudo darwin-rebuild switch

8. Allow direnv .envrc for default devshell

direnv allow ~
