# Mein dotfiles

A tidy `$HOME` is a tidy mind.

It takes a touch of madness to use nixOS. I arrived here because there are a few
special computers in my life, local and remote, and maintaining them was
busywork I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. 

Nix, with its luscious tendrils, drew me in with a promise of glorious
reproducibility and declared its declarative-ness with enough chutzpah to make
anime real again. So, with XDG conventions in hand, I set out to conquer my
white whale and annihilate what vestiges of my social life remain.

## Quick start

```sh
# Make sure your partitions are set up by this point
git clone https://github.com/hlissner/dotfiles /etc/dotfiles
HOST=hostname make install
```

+ `make` = `nixos-rebuild test`
+ `make switch` = `nixos-rebuild switch`
+ `make upgrade` = `nix-channel --update && nixos-rebuild switch`
+ `make install` = `nixos-generate-config --root $PREFIX && nixos-install
  --root $PREFIX`
