Devbox Global Configuration

This directory contains my global development environment configuration.

Quick Setup (Automated)

Run this one-liner to set up everything automatically:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clifinger/devbox-config/main/install.sh | bash

Or clone and run manually:

git clone git@github.com:clifinger/devbox-config.git
cd devbox-config
./install.sh

Manual Setup

If you prefer to install step-by-step:

1. Install Nix:

   curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install

2. Install Devbox:

   curl -fsSL https://get.jetify.com/devbox | bash

3. Pull this config:

   devbox global pull git@github.com:clifinger/devbox-config.git

4. Install Home Manager:

   nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-24.05.tar.gz home-manager
   nix-channel --update
   nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install

5. Link configs:

   ln -sf ~/.local/share/devbox/global/default/home-manager.nix ~/.config/home-manager/home.nix
   ln -sf ~/.local/share/devbox/global/default/kitty.conf ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf

6. Apply home-manager:

   home-manager switch

Configuration Management

Updating Configuration

After making changes to any config file:

home-manager switch              # Apply changes
devbox global push git@github.com:clifinger/devbox-config.git  # Push to repo

Or use the convenient alias:

hms  # Alias for home-manager switch

Starship

Starship config is auto-generated from preset via home-manager activation hook. To manually regenerate:

starship preset nerd-font-symbols -o ~/.config/starship.toml

Kitty

Kitty uses the system package from Fedora (not Nix) due to EGL/Wayland compatibility. Config is managed separately at ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf.

• Terminal: Kitty
• Navigation: Zoxide (smart cd)
