My dotfiles.

dotfiles

Common configuration files across my machines.

These files apply to several machines:

• Personal Laptop (OSX)
• Work Laptop (OSX)
• Personal Desktop (NixOS)

Dotfiles and most program installations are managed by the Nix package manager.

Installation

Run ./install.sh. This cross-platform script should set up anything relevant.

You may want to manually step through the install script yourself in case of failure.

Applying changes

After modifying a Nix configuration, run:

igm-system

This will apply your changes. It does not update Nixpkgs-- to do this read the next section.

Updating Nixpkgs and other upstream dependencies

First, update all Flake dependencies using:

igm-update

Then, to apply the changes, use the command:

igm-switch

Locking

Git artifacts must be deleted before generating the Flake lock files. Run this after committing:

git clean -fdX
nix flake lock --recreate-lock-file

Pushing to Cachix

To push the latest Darwin M1 configuration to Cachix, run:

cachix-push-m1-config

This is required because GitHub Actions does not have an aarch64-darwin runner.

dotfiles's Issues

Make secrets directories optional

If secrets directories don't exist, don't copy over the dotfiles.

fix fcitx/profile not being able to be overwritten issue

League of legends

fix tmux copy/paste

• copy/paste

remove LaTeX

i literally never use this. At least use a smaller version than texlive-full.

remove bundles

I'm no longer a Vim user, so I should remove bundles that I don't need.

github cloner

Create a script/emacs command to clone any arbitrary github repository and open it up in emacs in a new workspace.

make work with linux

Figure out what needs to be separated

Make nixos-rebuild switch work without breaking all of my displays

dotfiles-private

@macalinao Hi! I found your dotfiles very usefull and try to use them for my computer, but I stucked because i don't know how you organize dotfiles-private

Can you share example?

Consolidate shell files

It's kind of ridiculous to organize things by file to this level. I should just consolidate everything into 1-3 files.

BTRFS snapshotting/backup

I need to set up encrypted backup on my stuff. Everything important to me right now is kept in Git, but it's still probably good practice for me to be able to roll back updates to my computer. I also have several configs not in Git and/or not viable to put in Git, e.g. IM credentials, Google Chrome credentials, etc.

Options:

• S3 backup via S3backer + LUKS
  • Pros: easy to manage, dev friendly
  • Cons: Expensive
• Google One
  • Pros: Integration with other media, e.g. Google Photos
  • Cons: past 2TB this is just way too expensive
• Buy an external HDD
  • Pros: Unlimited space, fixed cost
  • Cons: Data not save in case of disaster

investigate why spacemacs terminal is crap

e.g. no reverse i-search
