This is how I keep my nix configurations syncronized with zaneyos. The folder structure is similar to what's in zaneyos
when you clone this repo int ~/src and run bootstrap.sh it will copy all of the files from this repo's home,system and scripts folders
into wherever your dotfiles are being kept. Then it runs some sed commands to make sure home/my_files.nix,home/my_home.nix and system/my_system.nix
are all appended in their respective default.nix files from zaneyos.
Then run a flake-rebuild to update the flake and after doing this, you should be able to run zany-sync from the command line which will do all of this
for you again.
run the clean-tree.sh script from the root of this repository to delete my configs and replace them with empty templates to get you started
managing your own.
This script deletes out all of my stuff and copies in the bare minimum you'd need to have zany-sync working. It will prompt you for the path you'd like
to keep your configuration files in. Then it will run some sed commands to place those paths in the bootstrap.sh script.
If you ran clean-tree.sh then, you don't need to edit this and it was done for you by running the script. If you wanted to use my configs or you are me
and ran this for whatever reason then you can just edit these variables by hand in the bootstrap.sh file
Whatever you have been using for your options.nix file till now just needs to be copied in the options/ folder of this repository. You can add option files
for however many systems you use. this is used for the prompt you'll see in bootstrap.sh when it asks you which options file to use.
As often as you can; make all of your configurations in their own nix files, they might look something like this.
if it was an added nix file from the home directory, then make sure to add it to my_home.nix
home/my_home.nix is where you'd add new nix files to include or files that need to be copied into your home dir (kinda like home/packages.nix)
home/files.nix is where you'd add new files that need to be created and copied over to the home folder (kinda like zaney's home/files.nix - likewise, files are kept in the home/files folder)
system/my_system.nix is where you'd add system nix files and packages to be included
