This repo is managed with Nix + GNU stow

Installation Guide (for myself & those who are interested)

• Generate image & boot We do this because the default one doesn't have all the utilities we want (e.g. disko).

  • generate image nom-build --attr nixosConfigurations.installer.config.system.build.isoImage
  • dd the image to a flash drive (remember to sync)
  • boot off that flash drive

• Format disk (DANGER)

  • modify the disko file to point to the disk to be formatted

• Installation (iirc the disko auto install has some issues)

  # Are you sure the disko config has the right drive path?
  disko -m disko ./disko.nix # format the drive
  
  # optional for unknown hard ware
  nixos-generate-config --no-filesystems --root /mnt --dir . # disko will take care of the file system configuration
  # put the generated config in the right path and import it
  
  nixos-install --flake .dotfiles#<hostname>
  # profit

Packages

This repository exports my custom packages under attribute packages. Because it's a monorepo and I have 0 reason to make things stable, pin it if you use any packages.

Binary Cache

You should use my binary cache if you're building my fonts, they take a while (20 minutes on my M1 Max MacBook Pro).

Theme

I have made a theme (a fork of Atom's one-light) where all my tools are visually unified. It's neovim part can be found here.

Notable shell scripts

• tmux-sessionizer: a bash script inspired by ThePrimeagen, allows jumping between different tmux sessions using fzf
• tmux-last: toggle the last tmux session
• c2r: clone repository to ~/repo/owner/name, where I can then attach to using sessionizer The sessionizer primitives starts with two underscores and are reused. They are packaged together.

Have fun :)
