Homies

Reproducible set of dotfiles and packages for Linux and macOS

Install with nix profile install. Make sure to update your .bashrc or .bash_profile:

$ echo 'if [ -x "$(command -v bashrc)" ]; then $(bashrc); fi' >> ~/.bashrc

The homies will be available in all subsequent shells, including the customizations (vim with my favorite plugins, tmux with my customized configuration, etc). See the introduction blog post for an overview.

Fonts

Make sure to install a font with icons (e.g. Inconsolata) in iterm2 and tell iterm2 to "Use powerline glyphs".

How-To

Installing the package set:

$ nix profile install

Upgrading:

$ nix profile upgrade X # find X with "nix profile list"

Listing the previous and current configurations:

$ nix profile history

Deleting old configurations:

$ nix profile wipe-history

Ensure build is sandboxed:

# /etc/nix/nix.conf
build-users-group = nixbld
# /Library: cc is installed in /Library/Developer (and used from /usr/bin
/cc and others)
# /System/Library: needed for system-wide Perl
sandbox-paths = /bin/bash /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /Library /System/Librar
sandbox = true
