nix-config for macOS

This repo contains a declarative specification of the setup of my mac, using Nix, with nix-darwin and Nix Flakes. The initial setup is mimicked after shaunsingh's setup. Homebrew is installed for its cask support (i.e. for mac apps lacking a Nix derivation).

Note that I am a complete novice in Nix, so this is not a reliable source for nix-stuffs (copy at your own risk).

Steps to install

Install Nix for macOS

sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install)

Install Homebrew

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Clone this repo (assuming there is no ~/.config on the system already)
```
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/larstvei/dotfiles.git ~/.config
```
Note that the --recurse-submodules pulls down my Emacs configuration, which is not necessary for the setup to work.

Build the setup from flake.nix

cd ~/.config/
nix build .#darwinConfigurations.larstvei-macbookpro.system --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes
./result/sw/bin/darwin-rebuild switch --flake .#larstvei-macbookpro

Maintaining

After making changes, I run the following command (from the ~/.config directory):

darwin-rebuild switch --flake .#larstvei-macbookpro
