This repo contains my personal dotfiles for NixOS and macOS (Darwin)
It has some interesting stuff in lib and modules
myLib, as the name suggests, is a lib that has functions I made for my own
purposes and use. It mainly has functions for modules where, without custom
functions, creating configurations would be too verbose
A few highlights from myLib include:
kanata.nix: This is the most impressive part of myLib.
It contains a bunch of functions for generating LISP Schema code for Kanata.
Somewhat ironically, this requires more code than raw LISP, but it's easier to
reason about if you're used to the Nix language and not LISP
zellij.nix: Although less impressive, it actually uses less code (unlike kanata.nix). Its main purpose is not only to make Zellij configuration easier but also to make it much less verbose
ghostty.nix: It's basically for the same reasons as Zellij, but here the idea is more about keeping the code in Nix. The generated code is about the same as the Nix one (perhaps even less), but again, I want to keep things in the Nix language
system.nix - Here I keep all my macOS system settings; they're pretty opinionated compared to the macOS defaults, but I think they're very sensible
nixcord.nix - My Nixcord config; it has the Catppuccin theme and a bunch of QoL (Quality of Life) plugins, making using Discord much nicer
Unfortunately, some programs (and projects) don't have a linter, so I made my own little solutions for this
catppuccin-userstyles.nix - Conveniently enough, Catppuccin has their theme for a bunch of sites. I love consistency, so I think it's a must-have, tbh
warp-terminal-catppuccin.nix - Warp Terminal
yt-dlp-script.sh - A bash script, I have to download video in my own "niche" format
update.sh - A neat bash script I have to update any custom modules I have (e.g [catppuccin-userstyles.nix](/modules/hm/custom/catppuccin-userstyles.n ix))
If you want to build my dotfiles, here's how to do it:
# Override secrets with your own or modify hosts/nixos/users.nix to not use secrets
# Delete my hardware-configuration.nix and create your own one
if [ ! -f "hosts/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix" ]; then
nixos-generate-config
mv "hardware-configuration.nix" "hosts/nixos/nyx"
rm "configuration.nix"
