# seroperson's dotfiles
Configuration which I use for my development purposes. Not so recently I migrated all the dotfiles
management to `nix` and it's still WIP, but mostly should work ok.
## Used software
Mostly I use well-known things:
* **zsh** - powered by `zgenom` plugin manager, lightweight shell.
* **nvim** - initially I used self-written config, but then switched to [astronvim][1] community distribution
as long as managing well-prepared nvim configuration is a pretty hard task as for today.
* **tmux** - terminal multiplexer, configuration managed by `nix` (see `nix/tmux.nix` file).
And also some set of handy tools, such as [exa][2], [jq][3], [rg][4].
## Installation
Initially, only `nix` and `git` must be installed. Be sure that nix is up-to-date:
```sh
nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
nix-channel --update
```
Clone the repository:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/seroperson/dotfiles $HOME/.dotfiles/
```
And then let the `home-manager` do the rest:
```sh
nix --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run home-manager/release-24.05 -- init --switch $HOME/.dotfiles/
```
Next, you should do `chsh $USER -s $HOME/.nix-profile/bin/zsh` and re-login.
Finally, be sure to install nerd-font and catpuccin mocha theme for your terminal.
## Troubleshooting
Usually nix doesn't work as expected and you don't know what to do.
It is good idea to start your troubleshooting with global cleanup:
```sh
nix-channel --update
nix-env -u --always
rm /nix/var/nix/gcroots/auto/*
rm -rf $HOME/.cache/nix
nix-collect-garbage -d
```
## Nix Guides
`nix` is not easy thing to get started with, but luckily it has a lot of guides available across the web.
Here are some of them:
- [Scrive Nix Workshop][7]
- [Introduction to Flakes][5]
- [Packaging software with Nix][10]
- [Home Manager Configuration Options][9]
- [Home Manager modules/][8]
- [Shebang Scripts in Nix Derivations][6]
