Got Files?

My dot-files.

I use Rake to manage my dot-files. It uses Homebrew to install packages and Ruby to install dot-files and/or perform any extra customisations.

I'm in the process of moving to a nix-based setup -- using nix-darwin and Home Manager -- to replace this home-grown solution.

If this setup is new to you, these resources helped me:

• Home Manager Manual
• Migrating from Homebrew to Nix for OSX
• Declarative macOS Configuration Using nix-darwin And home-manager
• Setup nix, nix-darwin and home-manager from scratch on an M1 Macbook Pro
• How to Learn Nix, Part 19 Switching from Homebrew to Nix

I probably should've learned how to use Nix the current way, but instead I've started using the experimental Flake method. This will no doubt get some major rewrites as I learn how nix, flakes and the different modules work together.
