Welcome to my cross-platform dots. Focused on improving productivity, and reducing the pain of switching between operating systems. Minimal rice, with a focus on getting the annoying stuff out of the way.

Overview

Here's what you can find:

  • WezTerm as my terminal, with tmux-like keybindings
  • Starship as my prompt
  • Firefox with privacy-centered settings, though I don't use it heavily anymore.
  • My GPG & Agenix settings
  • Other random bits of config tools I've collected over the years
  • macOS:
  • Linux:

Neovim used to be part of this repository, but now my config is fully reproducible & stored over here.

Notes for a new install

This flake technically has an impurity at its core, because it assumes that it will be stored in ~/.config/flake and will create symlinks pointing there. This is so I can edit some dotfiles (e.g. VSCode settings.json) in place and have programs hot reload them.

macOS

$ xcode-select --install
Install Homebrew
$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh | bash
Exclude /nix/ from Time Machine:
$ sudo tmutil addexclusion -v /nix

Building the flake

$ nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" develop # enter the devShell
$ just switch

I personally use nix-direnv to automatically enter this devShell on my machines.
