My declarative dotfiles and system configuration using Nix Home Manager.

• Nix package manager with flakes enabled

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

• Home Manager installed

  nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager nix-channel --update nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install

1. Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/r3morce/home-manager ~/.config/home-manager cd ~/.config/home-manager

2. Create your private configuration

   cp private.nix.example private.nix

3. Apply configuration

   home-manager switch

Edit home.nix:

home.packages = with pkgs; [ # Add your package here neofetch ];

Add to home.nix:

programs.git = { enable = true; userName = "Your Name"; };

home.file = { ".config/myapp".source = ./myapp; };

home-manager switch

. ├── home.nix # Main entry point ├── private.nix # Private config (git-ignored) ├── private.nix.example # Template for private config ├── modules/ # Modular configuration └── config/ # Actual dotfiles 

If something breaks:

home-manager generations home-manager switch --rollback

• Issue: Alacritty from nixpkgs (v0.16.1) has Wayland display handle compatibility issues
• Workaround: Currently disabled in home-manager. Use system package manager (pacman) instead
• Status: Configuration file (~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml) is still managed by home-manager
• Future: Will re-enable when a fixed version is available in nixpkgs

• private.nix contains sensitive info (not tracked)
• Use private.nix.example as template
• Never commit SSH keys or tokens
