dotfiles

Dotfiles. all dotfiles and most cli tools are managed via nix and home-manager. Homebrew is used for Darwin gui applications and some cli tools that do not exist in nixpkgs or are not kept up to date.

Bootstrap

This is kept here for one primary reason. For how frequently it gets done, its not worth scripting. For there is a 99% chance something will have changed since the last time it was done.

Nix

https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/#sect-macos-installation

sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --darwin-use-unencrypted-nix-store-volume

Home-Manager

https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager#installation

nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
nix-channel --update

nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install

Homebrew

https://brew.sh/

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Bundle

home-manager sets HOMEBREW_BUNDLE_FILE which informs brew where to find our bundle file.

brew bundle --verbose

Manual

This is stuff thats currently manual and cannot be automated... yet

NodeJS

NodeJS is garbage. Nix' yarn hard links to node-14, brew yarn depends on node which is always latest. I want stable. So you have to install node@16 yarn remove node, and then link --overwrite node@16 (at least for now)

Upgrading

Steps to upgrade all packages until I decide how to automate it

nix-channel --update
home-manager switch
brew upgrade
rustup update
nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than 14d
