# Nix Home Manager Configuration

This configuration lives in `/Users/karlhepler/.config/nixpkgs`.

## Installation

```

# Install Nix (https://nixos.org/download#nix-install-macos)

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

# Set up flakes

$ mkdir -p ~/.config/nix

$ echo 'experimental-features = nix-command flakes' > ~/.config/nix/nix.conf

# Clone this repository

$ cd ~/.config

$ git clone [email protected]:karlhepler/nixpkgs.git

$ cd nixpkgs

# Install

$ nix run nixpkgs#home-manager -- switch --flake .#karlhepler

```

Once that is done, run `~/Applications/Home Manager Apps/kitty.app` from Finder.

## Additional Customization

Per-machine customizations can be made using `overconfig.nix`. Valid

customization keys are listed in this file and commented out. To enable

customization, uncomment the applicable lines in this file and update their

values as desired.

Each time home manager sync successfully completes, a git command will run

telling git to ignore changes to this file. In order to make permanent changes

to this file, like adding new customizable configs, first run

```

git -C ~/.config/nixpkgs update-index --no-assume-unchanged overconfig.nix

```

**NOTE:** Because of this customization, this repository **MUST** be installed

at `~/.config/nixpkgs`. Installing it anywhere else will likely cause an error.

**ANOTHER NOTE**: In order for this to work, `--no-assume-unchanged` **MUST**

be run prior to syncing home manager. To make this automatic, it runs first as

a part of running `hms`. So, as long as you always sync home manager using

`hms`, this will work properly.

## Helpful Commands

- `hms`: Update Home Manager with latest changes.

- `hme`: Edit `home.nix` file.

- `hm`: Change directory to Nix Packages configuration directory.
