    home.nix   ← packages managed here

Bootstrap (new machine)

1. Install Nix — use the Determinate Systems installer:

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

2. Clone and run

   git clone git@github.com:cmotl/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
   ~/dotfiles/bootstrap.sh

After bootstrap, home-manager is on your PATH for future updates:

home-manager switch --flake ~/dotfiles/home-manager#"$(whoami)" --impure

Adding packages

Edit home-manager/home.nix, then:

home-manager switch --flake ~/dotfiles/home-manager#"$(whoami)" --impure

Adding a new dotfile

1. Create a package dir mirroring the target path, e.g. git/.gitconfig
2. Run stow --target="$HOME" git
