# Outdated

Everything beyond this point is outdated, development has been moved to the sourcehut repo



# Useful Scripts

My personal repo for the scripts I use on my Linux systems.



# Scripts



## Nix-Rebuild

This script makes building NixOS configurations simpler and more streamlined by simplifying the syntax

### Options

For normal users

Main, available for flake and non-flake users



```

S - switch

B - build

v - verbose output

e - extra options e.g --version

t - enable show-trace option which helps with debugging and testing

i - enable the impure flag

d - use the --dry-run flag

```



For flake users

```

F - enable flakes

r - the repo which the flake.nix file is stored in, if not specified will check current directory. You must use either the auto flag or this flag

u - update packages, specifically updates all flake inputs in the flake.nix file

a - auto mode, uses your current directory and sets a default userstring

n - specify your hostname, can be used with auto mode

update-inputs - update specific inputs if you only want to update one but not the other

```

### Example

```bash

# This will build the NixOS configuration using flakes

nix-rebuild -Si -Fa

# Same as

nix flake update --commit-lock-file

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#hostname --impure

```

### Dependencies

- nix

#### Note

This script is solely made for NixOS users and cannot be used on other distros without some extreme modification



## Home-Build

I wrote this script to make building home manager configurations easier and faster with easy to remember and learn options.



### Options

Main, available for flake and non-flake users



```

S - switch

B - build

b - backup conflicting files

v - verbose output

e - extra options e.g --version

t - enable show-trace option which helps with debugging and testing

i - enable the impure flag

d - use the --dry-run flag

```



For flake users

```

F - enable flakes

r - the repo which the flake.nix file is stored in, if not specified will check current directory

u - update packages, specifically updates all flake inputs in the flake.nix file

a - auto mode, uses your current directory and sets a default userstring

n - specify your userstring, can be used with auto mode

update-inputs - update specific inputs if you only want to update one but not the other

```

### Examples



Minimal example

```bash

# In this example

hm-build -Sb



# Is the same as

home-manager switch -b hmbak

```



Maximal example, using flakes



```bash

# In this example

hm-build -Sivbtd -Fau

 

# Is the same as

# It will check if the current directory has a flake.nix file

nix-flake update --commit-lock-file

home-manager switch --flake .#user@hostname --verbose --dry-run -b backup --impure --show-trace

```

#### For flake users, these also apply to nix-rebuild:

Specify a repo using -r

```bash

hm-build -S -Fr ~/repo



#You have to use this if you're not going to use -r, it will use the current directory:

# -a is for auto mode

hm-build -S -Fa

```



Specify your userstring using

```bash

# This will take the hostname and username you specify and use it instead of the defaults for your system

hm-build -S -Fan user@hostname

```



### Dependancies

- nix

- home-manager



#### Notes

It will work on most distros in theory, I'm not so sure about in practice but I'm sure it should work



## color picker

This script uses hyprpicker to pick a color from the screen. Using wl-clipboard's tools wl-copy and wl-paste to copy the color code in #AABBCC format to the clipboard and notify-send to to notify of the completed operation. All in less than 5 seconds!

### Dependancies

- hyprpicker

- wl-clipboard

- libnotify



# Installation



## The flake, for nix users



You can add this to your flake.nix inputs

```nix

{

  inputs = {

    useful-scripts = {

      url = "github:Daru-san/useful-scripts";

      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";

    };

   };

 }

```

Install on nix

```nix

{ pkgs, inputs }:{

  environment.systemPackges = [

    inputs.useful-scripts.packages.${pkgs.system}.hm-build

    inputs.useful-scripts.packages.${pkgs.system}.color-picker

   ];

}

```

Install on home manager

```nix

{ pkgs, inputs }:{

  home.packages = [

    inputs.useful-scripts.packages.${pkgs.system}.hm-build

    inputs.useful-scripts.packages.${pkgs.system}.color-picker

  ];

}

```
