# Homies
Reproducible set of dotfiles and packages for Linux and macOS
---
Install with `nix profile install`. Update your `~/.zshrc`:
``` zsh
if [ -f $HOME/.nix-profile/share/zshrc/zshrc ]; then source $HOME/.nix-profile/share/zshrc/zshrc; fi
```
The homies will be available in all subsequent shells, including the
customizations (vim with my favorite plugins, tmux with my customized
configuration, etc). See the [introduction blog post][post] for an overview.

## How-To
Installing the package set:
``` shell
$ nix profile install
```
Updating the packages:
```shell
$ nix flake update # alternative: nix flake lock --update-input
```
Try out the new packages:
```shell
$ nix develop
```
Upgrading to the new profile:
``` shell
$ nix profile upgrade X # find X with "nix profile list"
```
Syncing apps for Spotlight indexing:
```
$ rsync --archive --checksum --delete --chmod=-w ~/.nix-profile/Applications/ ~/Applications/homies-apps/
```
> **Note**
> We copy the app to make sure Spotlight picks it up. Creating a (Finder) alias does work too, but
> the alias is given much lower priority in Spotlight search and the app appears way below e.g.
> online searches, files, etc.
Listing the previous and current configurations:
``` shell
$ nix profile history
```
Deleting old configurations:
``` shell
$ nix profile wipe-history
```
Ensure build is sandboxed:
```
# /etc/nix/nix.conf
build-users-group = nixbld
# /Library: cc is installed in /Library/Developer (and used from /usr/bin
/cc and others)
# /System/Library: needed for system-wide Perl
sandbox-paths = /bin/bash /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /Library /System/Library
sandbox = true
```
