+This template shows how you can define and reuse nixos and home-manager modules.
+
+
+This flake defines two hosts `my-darwin` and `my-nixos`, both importing a
+shared `modules/nixos/host-shared.nix` module between them.
+
+
+Also, both hosts define a `me` user and their home-managed configuration
+simply imports `modules/homes/home-shared.nix`.
+
+
+The idea is you can use this example to get started on how to share
+configurations between different system and home environments on different
+hosts.
