This is my personal configuration for nix-darwin with dotfiles and tools.

1. Clone this repo
2. Install homebrew
3. Install nix
4. Install nix-darwin

Run the initial setup which will build all the derivations which may take a while.

6. Override /etc/nix-darwin dir with this repo

Update your machine name in flake.nix

darwinConfigurations."MacBook-Pro"

Update username & home path in flake.nix

users.users.vaporif = {
  name = "vaporif";
  home = "/Users/vaporif";
};

Inside home.nix

  home = {
        homeDirectory = "/Users/vaporif";
      username = "vaporif";

7. Apply config

sudo darwin-rebuild switch

8. Allow direnv .envrc for default devshell

direnv allow ~

If you want to use avante (default bind a)

1. Register at open-router
2. Create a new key
3. Override my secrets/secrets.yaml with

open-router-key: YOUR_KEY

4. Create new age key

age-keygen -y ~/.config/sops/age/key.txt

5. Update key path in system.nix

  sops.age.keyFile = "/Users/vaporif/.config/sops/age/key.txt";

6. Encrypt your secrets

sops -e -i secrets/secrets.yaml
nix-shell -p sops --run "sops -e -i secrets/secrets.yaml"

7. Re-apply nix darwind

sudo darwin-rebuild switch
