Installing

These dotfiles are managed using a bare repo. Clone it like so:

git clone --bare git@github.com:iFreilicht/.dotfiles.git .dotfiles/.git

And check out the files like so:

git --git-dir=.dotfiles/.git --work-tree=. checkout
git --git-dir=.dotfiles/.git --work-tree=. submodule update --init

After that, just restart your terminal. Use the dot alias instead of git for all git operations in this repository.

There's also a bootstrap.sh script, but I haven't tested it much. Better you don't use it.

To install all the tools that are required, install nix first using the determinate installer or activate flakes in your existing installation. Then, simply install everything from flake.nix:

nix profile install path:$HOME/.dotfiles
