It's Matt's dotfiles!

Starring configurations for...

• fish
• neovim (configured almost entirely in lua!)
• tmux
• sway
• niri
• ... and a lot more!

It's Nix!

The configuration in this repo relies on Nix and Home Manager. That doesn't mean it only works on NixOS! I've also used it in macOS (with nix-darwin), Arch Linux, and ChromeOS's Crostini.

Why do all of the nix commands use --impure?

So I don't have to hard-code the system architecture, username, or home directory. The nix configurations in this repo rely on builtins.currentSystem and builtins.getEnv which don't work in pure evaluations with flakes.

Getting Started

Prerequisites:

• nix
• gnumake

1. Use one of the two flake templates. The flake templates set up a flake.nix pointing to this repository and provide a Makefile to make it easy to apply changes.

   • #default (probably what you want) - only manages home configuration for the current user. Works on anything that can run nix.

     nix flake new -t github:mattbun/dotfiles destination-dir

   • #nixos - makes a directory structure for separate nixos and home configurations with their own flakes. The provided Makefile applies both configurations. You can combine the two flakes, but I find it works a little better for my usecases to keep them separate.

     nix flake new -t github:mattbun/dotfiles#nixos destination-dir

2. Open the directory

   cd destination-dir

3. Customize home.nix (#default) or home/home.nix (#nixos) to your liking

4. Apply configuration

   make
