chloe caruso 71b0ce756a nix: fix default opts not applying 
previously mkDefault/mkOverride on vim.options would go before nvf's
defaults, which would basically make none of them apply. now it doesn't
use an override priority, at the cost that overriding any of these in a
user config will not work without mkForce.

also enable swapfiles, closes #1

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

Neovim configuration

By default, neovim is configured to all machines in $PATH. Neovim can be run directly via nix run, which skips needing to build the whole system configuration.

nix run .#nvim-natalie  # run by user
./nvim                  # run based on your username
