# home-manager
Instructions:

sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install)
```
Select all defaults.

Step 1: Install Home Manager
```sh
nix run home-manager/master -- init --switch
```
This will create your `~/.config/home-manager`, you can delete it and checkout
the content of this repo.

- Checkout this folder in `~/.config/home-manager`.
- Run `home-manager switch`
- Run `nix-channel --update && home-manager switch` to update `home-manager`.
# Manual
## Fixing Nix After OSX Update
OSX update can nuke mounts.
```sh
/usr/sbin/diskutil list | grep Nix
7: APFS Volume Nix Store 6.0 GB disk3s7
```
The last bit, `disk3s7` is the "disk identifier".
```sh
/usr/sbin/diskutil info disk3s7
```
Gives us the Volume UUID. Which has to be used in `/etc/fstab`:
```sh
cat /etc/fstab
#
# Warning - this file should only be modified with vifs(8)
#
# Failure to do so is unsupported and may be destructive.
#
# nix-installer created volume labelled `Nix Store`
UUID=75DA38CE-DEAD-486E-9A3D-1F61DBFAB14D /nix apfs rw,noauto,nobrowse,suid,owners
```
Also ensure:
```sh
cat /etc/synthetic.conf
run private/var/run
nix
```
And reboot.
Then locate the volume in Disk Utility, and mount it. Looks like we have to do
this on every reboot.

## `z`
Use `z ` to cd into folders ("zip around"). `zi ` to run
interactive search for pattern. Or `z ` to run interactive
search.
## `f`
If you make a minor command error, running `f` can figure out a fixed command.
## `hm` & `hmu`
After modifying `home-manager` files, run `hm` from anywhere to apply changes.
Run `hmu` to update everything.

## Nix Garbage Collection
`nix-collect-garbage -d`
## Nix Info
```sh
nix-shell -p nix-info --run "nix-info -m"
- system: `"aarch64-darwin"`
- host os: `Darwin 22.4.0, macOS 13.3`
- multi-user?: `yes`
- sandbox: `no`
- version: `nix-env (Nix) 2.11.0`
- channels(amitu): `""`
- channels(root): `"nixpkgs"`
- nixpkgs: `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixpkgs`
```
## Passing User Data
Currently user data is hard coded in home.nix, meaning others can not use this
setup. Have to figure out how to pass data to imports.

## More Mac Settings
Looks like a lot of mac settings can be configured using nix: https://medium.com/@zmre/nix-darwin-quick-tip-activate-your-preferences-f69942a93236.
Have not yet tried them.
