# Some history about my dotfiles
My first ever [dotfiles](https://github.com/szymon-jozef/dotfiles) repo was just named… Dotfiles. It was pretty bare bones.
Then I created [superior dotfiles](https://github.com/szymon-jozef/superior_dotfiles). I used it with [chezmoi](https://www.chezmoi.io/). It was pretty good, but then I decided to try something else…
As of today I'm using this repo with home manager. I'm still trying stuff out, but it looks pretty good right now.
# How to use this?
You need to have [home manager](https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/index.xhtml#sec-install-standalone) installed. Install needs to be **standalone**. It may not work as NixOS module.
## Settings
You need to edit `flake.nix` to match your preferences.
- If you want to use git, login with `gh auth login`, generate ssh key and put the pub key in the flake.
- You also need to set your git credentials there
- You can change the path of wallpaper dir.
### Arch Linux
0. If you're extra lazy you can use `install_nix_and_home_manager_on_arch.sh` script to install nix and home-manager. Just run it with `chmod +x ./install_nix_and_home_manager_on_arch.sh && ./install_nix_and_home_manager_on_arch.sh`
1. Copy this repo to `~/.config/home-manager` or somewhere else.
2. Make sure to change variable to your liking inside `flake.nix`. Especially your username and home path!
3. Download all the dependencies `yay -Syu --needed - < arch_packages.txt`. You can use any other aur helper if you want to, but be aware that regular pacman most likely won't work as `ashell` is not in regular repos yet.
4. Run this command to apply all the configurations for the first time `home-manager switch --flake .#arch -b backup`. Make sure to be in the repo root. All your existing files will be backed up with `.backup` extension.
5. Enjoy! Now you can use [nh](https://github.com/nix-community/nh). So for example to switch use `nh home switch . -c arch --backup-extension backup`
### NixOS
1. Copy this repo to `~/.config/home-manager` or somewhere else.
2. Make sure to change variable to your liking inside `flake.nix`. Especially your username and home path!
3. Run this command to apply all the configurations for the first time `home-manager switch --flake .#nixos -b backup`. Make sure to be in the repo root. All your existing files will be backed up with `.backup` extension.
4. Enjoy! Now you can use [nh](https://github.com/nix-community/nh). So for example to switch use `nh home switch . -c nixos --backup-extension backup`
**ALSO MAKE SURE TO ENABLE HYPRLAND SYSTEM WIDE!!!!**
```nix
{
programs.hyprland = {
enable = true;
withUWSM = true;
xwayland.enable = true;
};
}
```
