🚀 Getting Started

1. Install Nix with Flakes enabled

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

Then enable Flakes:

mkdir -p ~/.config/nix
echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" >> ~/.config/nix/nix.conf

2. Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles

3. Activate with Home Manager

home-manager switch --flake .#colter

🧪 Prerequisites

• Nix (with flakes enabled)
• Home Manager (nix profile install home-manager or via flake)
• A zsh shell
• Optional: pyenv, direnv, etc.

👯‍♂️ Sharing With Others

If you'd like to share this with teammates or others:

• Add additional user files in home/ (e.g., home/cassi.nix)
• Parameterize shared configs via shared/*.nix
• Avoid absolute paths in settings like vscode/settings.json
• Use .envrc or host-specific overrides if needed

---

🧼 TODOs / Improvements

• Add secrets/SSH setup module
• Add direnv and .envrc bootstrap
• Modularize language-specific configs (e.g., Python, Terraform)
