fonts

To get usefull icons in shell and nvim, install your favorite nerd font from https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads. My most beloved font is FiraCode Nerd Font. It is important to install all available font faces given.

Set the installed font as default in your terminal.

Install the specified dependencies in your distribution.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y curl openssh-server xz-utils

After these packages are installed run the install script with the following command.

For others to use: fork and change targets in flake.nix (user@system) accordingly.

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aserowy/dots/main/install.sh | sh

At the end, copy your ssh keys into ~/.ssh and set the permissions to 600 for all keys and pubs.

sudo chmod 600 [file]
