Dotfiles

Modular Nix Darwin configuration with Home Manager for macOS system and user environment management.

Uses the Determinate Systems Nix installer for reliable Nix installation with flakes and daemon support enabled by default.

Architecture

This configuration features a fully modular architecture with 74+ individual application modules organized into 14 functional categories for maximum flexibility and maintainability.

Quick Install

One-liner installation:

bash -c "$(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nobv/dotfiles/master/install)"

Or manual installation:

git clone https://github.com/nobv/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./setup.sh -m <machine>  # Choose: macbook, macmini, or work

Custom Installation

# Install with specific machine configuration
./setup.sh -m macbook      # Development-focused setup
./setup.sh -m work         # Full development stack
./setup.sh -m macmini      # Desktop setup

# Skip system updates or Homebrew
./setup.sh -s --skip-homebrew

# See all options
./setup.sh --help

Available Machine Configurations

• macbook - Development-focused (tmux, docker, python, kubernetes)
• macmini - Desktop setup (emacs, lighter dev tools, visible dock)
• work - Full development stack (all languages and tools)

Switching Configurations
