My declarative system configuration for macOS.

What's here?

I've aimed to create a minimal, pragmatic setup for my machine using Nix. I won't go too off the deep-end here, but will try some Nix features to simplify my development environment.

• Declarative application management
• Flake-based configuration (nix-darwin)
• iTerm2 settings support
• Home Manager for setting up my Zsh environment
• asdf for language management
• Other niceties ✨

Prerequisites

To bring a device up into this repository, you must:

1. Install git via xcode-select.
2. Install Nix using the Determinate Systems installer.
3. Install brew.

First, start installing the Xcode developer tools by attempting to clone this repo in a terminal. It will bring up a prompt and begin the installation.

Next up, install the prerequisites by running:

make prepare

This command will complete the remaining two items to prepare your system for bringup.

Installation

To kick things off:

make init
make langs # installs my programming languages
make extras # other random things I use
