⚙️ My personal and professional development environment setup and configuration

Usage

Install nix

I've used the DeterminateSystems installer.

Install Homebrew

(This is mostly to use casks to install GUI applications.)

Use the instructions on brew.sh.

Run first time setup

If the current hostname and username of are already defined in the nix-darwin config you can run nix-darwin to bootstrap the machine.

nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake 'github:sloanelybutsurely/dotfiles?dir=.config/nix-darwin'

New hostname or username

If you're setting up a brand new machine or using a new username you'll have to clone this repo and update the nix-darwin config to include the new hostname and/or username.

If you commit and push these changes you can continue these instructions from the above.

If you want to bootstrap from a local copy of this repo you can run nix-darwin:

nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake /path/to/.config/nix-darwin

Set shell

chsh -s /run/current-system/sw/bin/fish

Reboot the machine

This will let the new shell take hold.

Clone remaining dotfiles and nix-darwin

Once setup you can fetch a local copy of the nix-darwin config and some remaining dotfiles.

# yadm should have been installed by 
yadm clone git@github.com:sloanelybutsurely/dotfiles.git
