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

# 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
  • make gc = nix-collect-garbage -d (use sudo to clear system profile)

  • Shell: zsh
  • DE/WM: bspwm + polybar
