Chris' dotfiles

Collection of scripts, utilities, home-manager, and NixOS configurations.

Usage

• Requires a recent version of Nix (At least ~2.4, but probably 2.18+)
  • curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
  • (Or) sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon
• [macOS Users] install nix-darwin by reading these docs.

[!info] Requires Flakes and nix commands enabled

1. Ensure you have the nix config folder in your home dir: mkdir -p $HOME/.config/nix/

2. Add the line enabling these features to the config file: echo "experimental-features = flakes nix-command" >> $HOME/.config/nix/nix.conf"

While you can use it directly, I recommend cloning so you can make changes.

1. Clone this repo and cd into the folder
2. Test build using default home-manager config: nix build .
3. Setup configuration: nix run . -- -b backup
   1. You might need the -b backup to let it move existing configs around so it can "take over" with a symlink.

Part of the configuration has shell functions switch-home, switch-nix, and switch-darwin which expect the repo at $HOME/src/dotfiles and will apply whatever configuration is there.

Templates

Project templates are registered in the flake. Use the standard Nix template flow:

# Create a new project from a template
nix flake new my-app -t .#nextjs
# or from GitHub
nix flake new my-app -t github:chrisportela/dotfiles#nextjs

Then:

cd my-app
direnv allow
pnpm install
pnpm db:migrate
pnpm dev

List available templates: nix flake show . (look under templates).
