dotfiles

This branch is the v2 rewrite of the dotfiles repository. It keeps the setup in the same repo as v1, but reorganizes the system around a Nix flake with nix-darwin, Home Manager, and a small Stow layer for tool configs that still fit best as tracked dotfiles.

Layout

• flake.nix: top-level flake entrypoint and inputs.
• hosts/darwin/nyx: host-specific nix-darwin configuration.
• home/chant: Home Manager user configuration.
• modules/shared: shared modules for packages and shell tooling.
• modules/darwin: macOS-specific modules such as defaults, Homebrew, and input tooling.
• stow: application configs that are linked into place during Home Manager activation.
• bin: shared and host-specific helper scripts.

What This Config Manages

• System configuration with nix-darwin
• User environment with Home Manager
• Homebrew taps and casks through Nix-managed Homebrew integration
• Tool configs for Git, Zsh, tmux, Neovim, Zed, Ghostty, JJ, and Kanata

Apply The Configuration

On the nyx host, build and switch the darwin configuration with:

darwin-rebuild switch --flake .#nyx

The host config also expects Rosetta to be installed on Apple Silicon before or alongside the first switch:

softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license

If you only want to evaluate the Home Manager profile, this flake also exposes:

home-manager switch --flake .#chant@nyx

Notes

This repo is the source of truth for the new migration work. The v1 branch is still useful as historical reference, but changes for the new setup should land here unless there is a specific reason to backport them.
