This repository contains the state of my ~/.config directory.

• Install Nix
• Install home-brew
• Append this to the .zshrc:

if [ -e '/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh' ]; then
  . '/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh'
fi

export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH

• The step above might need to be repeated after a macOS update, according to: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70733236/nixos-installation-issue-command-not-found-nix
• Nix compiles from source and this could take a long time and require a lot of dependencies. Homebrew uses cached binaries, so much faster and convenient for GUI applications, so consider using it in parallel

nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
nix-channel --update
nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install

# Add packages and other settings to this file
vim /Users/manuel/.config/home-manager/home.nix     

home-manager generations
<GENERATION>/activate

The gitconfig currently contains a label for a GPG key, used for signing commits. At the moment, this is a randomly generated reference and hence has to be adapted when installing this config with another Github account or GPG key.

This is macOS specific, for changing the key repetition rate (run in a shell):

defaults write -g KeyRepeat -int 1 
defaults write -g InitialKeyRepeat -int 10

General settings:
