# Nix Dotfiles
This is my dotfile setup, using [Nix](https://nixos.org/), [nix-darwin](https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin), and [home-manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager).
> [!WARNING]
> This is a work in progress and I am still learning Nix, so expect things to be broken.
## Install Dependencies
First, install the Xcode command-line tools:
```sh
xcode-select --install
```
## Install Nix
Install Nix using the [Determinate Systems installer](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer):
```sh
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
```
## Install the Nix Flake
### First-time Installation
#### Install from GitHub
To install and use this configuration directly from GitHub without cloning:
```sh
nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake github:kogakure/dotfiles
```
#### Clone and Install
Clone the repository:
```sh
git clone git@github.com:kogakure/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
```
For the initial setup, run:
```sh
nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake ~/.dotfiles
```
This command installs nix-darwin and applies your configuration.
### Selecting a Specific Configuration
By default the `$hostname` that matches the current machine is used, but it is possible to manually load one by running:
```sh
nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake ~/.dotfiles#mac-mini
```
## Updating Configuration
After making changes to your configuration, apply them with:
```sh
darwin-rebuild switch --flake ~/.dotfiles
```
