README.md

My personal nix files

If you want to use this, highly recommend forking it and change username/home directory, etc. I plan to write a detail guide soon

Instructions migrating (for a fork)

0. Install nix from nixos.org
1. Clone the repo to home directory
2. run nix run "github:howarddo2208/nixfiles#homeConfigurations.{macos|linux}.activationPackage" --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes change uri to your repo.
3. Run cd ~/nixfiles/dotfiles && stow -nvSt ~ * to create symlink dotfiles, add -n flag to stow to view simulation before symlink. I won't manage configuration purely with Nix. sync scripts with stow -vSt ~ scripts
4. first time config
   • set default shell to zsh if you are on linux with bash default command -v zsh | sudo tee -a /etc/shells && chsh -s "$(command -v zsh)". reference. The default shell emulator maynot switch to zsh because it was hard-coded to bash, then you may want to tweak the setting, or install another shell emulator, I recommend wezterm
   • login to github + ssh for it: gh auth login
   • tmux: install plugin manager git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm then tmux source ~/.tmux.conf -> tmux attach -> <C-a> + I
   • login into atuin + sync (command hisotry): atuin login -u username -> atuin sync
   • may need to install some lsp for neovim with :Mason
   • setup wakapi tracker in ~/.wakatime.cfg

     [settings]
     debug = false
     hidefilenames = false
     ignore =
         COMMIT_EDITMSG$
         PULLREQ_EDITMSG$
         MERGE_MSG$
         TAG_EDITMSG$
     api_url = https://wakapi.dev/api
     api_key = <api-key>
     
     

5. Each time changing the configs: cd ~/nixfiles && home-manager switch --flake ".#{macos|linux}" or alias hms
6. ??? Profits ???

hmmmmmmmm

• set SONG_DIR for ytmdl

Some problems I encountered

• repeating character in tmux on macOS: Installing tmux-256color for macOS (github.com)
• Neorg malfunction on macOS: nix-shell -p gcc11 -> which gcc -> CC=(gcc path) nvim -c TSInstallSync norg

require node, ripgrep, fd before using
