chloe caruso ff5e23efc2 feat: "autofmt" code formatter 
different codebases use different formatters. autofmt looks for project
configuration to pick the correct formatter, allowing an editor to
simply point to the script and have all ambiguities resolved.

this commit overhauls the conform configuration to set up autofmt
correctly, as well installing it with 'pkgs.autofmt'

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
