dotfiles

@AumyF's dotfiles written in Dhall.

Setup

Requirements

• multi-user mode installation of Nix
  • single-user mode users may require additional configuration in ~/.zshrc
• Homebrew (macOS) or Pacman (Arch Linux) to install OS-specific softwares.

Windows users can use WSL2, although only single-user mode works on it.

Install Nix

See https://nixos.org/download.html or run

sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon

Clone Repository

It is recommended to clone the repo to ~/ghq/github.com/AumyF/dotfiles to be consistent with ghq.
