Rick's dotfile

Currently this setup is written by nix flake.

• macOS
• Ubuntu(which I use most, cannot guarantee for other distribution)

Project Structure

• flake.nix: Describes the project and its dependencies (only for flake-enabled projects).
• home-manager/: Describes different hm config based on platform.
• lib/: Directory for custom Nix functions.
• machines/: Directory for custom machine config.
• overlays/: Directory for Nix package overlays.
• config/: Directory for my custom app config.

How to use

Platform Prerequisite

• nix -- recommend lix-installer curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install

For MacOS

Some deps need installing. Optional:

• 1password -- I use 1password to sync my ssh keys

For Linux

• Standalone Home manager
• make --- install via sudo apt-get install make

Deploy

MacOS

The Makefile will automatically detect your current username and hostname.

Standard Deployment:

make deploy-mac

Custom Deployment: You can override the target user or host if needed:

# Deploy for a different user
make deploy-mac USER=alice

# Deploy for a specific host (requires machines/<Host>.nix)
make deploy-mac HOST=OfficeMac

Note: You may need to logout and login for some settings to take full effect.

Linux

make deploy-linux
