# nix config

this setup allows natalie and chloe to share common configuration between their machines, but also share useful modules between each other.

```

A new machine can be added by adding a new definition in `flake.nix`. Note that the user and host `configuration.nix` and `home.nix` files are 

## macOS installation instructions

Install Nix using the upstream Nix (Pick "no" then "yes):

```
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | \
  sh -s -- install
```

While this installs, now is a good time to perform manual setup steps:

- Setup your SSH keys in `~/.ssh`
- Configure the device hostname in System Settings in
    - About -> Name
    - General -> Sharing -> Local Hostname
- Make sure you're logged into iCloud / Mac App Store
- `xcode-select --install` to make sure Git and other utilities are available.
- Optional: Disable app verification with `sudo spctl --master-disable`, then, go to System Settings -> Privacy to allow unsigned apps.

Once Nix is installed, open a new shell and clone the repository:

```
# Clone via HTTPs
git clone https://git.paperclover.net/clo/config.git
# With SSH Authentication
git clone git@git.paperclover.net:clo/config
```

The location of the cloned repository must match what is in your `user.nix` file. 

Setup `nix-darwin` using the `switch` helper:

```
./switch
```
