neovim-nix-flake

My Neovim config and environment ported to a Nix Flake

GitHub Actions

This repository includes several GitHub Actions workflows:

• build-and-cache.yaml: Builds the Nix flake and caches it to Cachix on push to main
• update.yaml: Updates the flake lock file on a schedule or manual trigger
• trigger-nix-config-update.yaml: Triggers the "Update and push flake lock" action on the alisonjenkins/nix-config repository when changes are merged to main

Setup for trigger-nix-config-update.yaml

To enable the workflow that triggers updates on the nix-config repository, you need to:

1. Create a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) with one of the following:

   • Classic token with repo scope, OR
   • Fine-grained token with Actions: Read and write permission for the alisonjenkins/nix-config repository

2. Add this token as a repository secret:

   • Go to Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
   • Create a new secret named NIX_CONFIG_TRIGGER_TOKEN
   • Paste the PAT as the value

3. Ensure the alisonjenkins/nix-config repository has a workflow that listens for the repository_dispatch event with event_type: update-flake-lock
