dotfiles

Contains configuration for my development machines that uses home-manager to manage installing applications and setting up configuration for those applications. Some applications that are setup using home manager in this repository include:

• Neovim
• Starship
• Fish

Initial setup

1. Install home-manager
2. Perform initial install and configure the system

   ./update.sh

Updating the system configuration

To update the system configuration just modify files under ./nix and create a new generation with:

./update.sh

How-to

Install programs for development

home.packages = with pkgs; [
  ripgrep
  fd
  eza
  gh
]

Install Vim plugins

programs.neovim = {
  ...
  plugins = with pkgs.vimPlugins; [
    vim-surround
    tabular
    vim-commentary
    hop-nvim
}

Define shell environment variables

home.sessionVariables = {
  EDITOR = "nvim";
  GIT_EDITOR = "nvim -u ~/.config/nvim/minimal.vim";
  PAGER = "less -RFX";
}

Mac OS

Mac system configuration is not managed by home-manager. The configuration is stored in the script/macos file and executed with the ./script/bootstrap script.
