this setup allows natalie and chloe to share common configuration between their machines, but also share useful modules between each other.

A new machine can be added by adding a new definition in flake.nix. Note that
the user and host configuration.nix and home.nix files are
Install Nix using the upstream Nix (Pick "no" then "yes):
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | \
sh -s -- install
While this installs, now is a good time to perform manual setup steps:
- Setup your SSH keys in
~/.ssh - Configure the device hostname in System Settings in
- About -> Name
- General -> Sharing -> Local Hostname
- Make sure you're logged into iCloud / Mac App Store
xcode-select --installto make sure Git and other utilities are available.- Optional: Disable app verification with
sudo spctl --master-disable, then, go to System Settings -> Privacy to allow unsigned apps.
Once Nix is installed, open a new shell and clone the repository:
# Clone via HTTPs
git clone https://git.paperclover.net/clo/config.git
# With SSH Authentication
git clone [email protected]:clo/config
The location of the cloned repository must match what is in your user.nix
file.
Setup nix-darwin using the switch helper:
./switch
By default, neovim is configured to all machines in $PATH. Neovim can be run
directly via nix run, which skips needing to build the whole system
configuration.
nix run .#nvim-natalie # run by user
./nvim # run based on your username
