dotfiles

Nix

I use nix and nix-darwin as package manager for my MacBook. See this Nix for MacOs Youtube video for more explaination.

Nix also has a module for brew to install packages via brew.

clone dotfiles into .config

git clone https://github.com/koweblomke/dotfiles.git .config 

Step 1. Install nix

Important

make sure nix or any form of NixOs or nix-shell isn't installed. Then uninstall it

sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install)

Create new flake.nix

Note

skip this!, this is only for fresh install if you do not have a flake.nix file yet.

cd .config
nix flake init -t nix-darwin --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes"

then configure the darwinConfigurations name and the architecture. (see video)

Step 2. Install nix-darwin

nix run nix-darwin --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" -- switch --flake ~/.config/nix#macwerk

Step 3. Using nix-darwin

darwin-rebuild switch --flake ~/.config/nix#macwerk

.zshrc, oh-my-zsh and powerlevel10

To manage oh-my-zsh and powerlevel10k with nix we need to use nix-homemanger as nix-darwin has no options to manager oh-my-zsh. For this we use the nix-darwin home-manager module in the flake.nix file.

Important

nix now also manages the .zshrc file. So don't edit it manually.

Note

if you don't have a p10k.zsh file yet you need to create one by manually installing powerlevel10k before managing zsh with nix home-manager. Save the p10k.zsh file in .config/nix/p10k folder and then you can remove powerlevel10k and re-install it with nix.
