❄️ NixOS dotfile configuration

My personal declarative configuration for NixOS, managing my laptop and PC via Nix Flakes and Home Manager.

Bootstrap (fresh install)

To set up this configuration on a fresh machine with NixOS installed, run:

# 1. Clone the repo
nix-shell -p git --run "git clone https://github.com/ErgoAsh/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles"

# 2. Enter directory
cd ~/dotfiles

# 3. Apply the configuration
# Replace 'HOSTNAME' with: ergo-laptop, ergo-pc, or ergo-vm
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#HOSTNAME --option extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes"
