Optional: Create flake.nix

• Initialize nix-darwin.

mkdir --parents ~/github/sheeeng/nix/nix-darwin && cd $_
nix flake init --template nix-darwin
sed --in-place "s/simple/$(scutil --get LocalHostName)/" flake.nix
sed --in-place "s/x86_64-darwin/aarch64-darwin/" flake.nix

Install nix-darwin

nix run nix-darwin --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" -- switch --flake ~/github/sheeeng/nix/nix-darwin

Using nix-darwin

• Setup flake-based Home Manager nix-darwin in flake.nix.

nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake ~/github/sheeeng/nix/nix-darwin

• Rebuild configuration.

darwin-rebuild switch --flake ~/github/sheeeng/nix/nix-darwin

• Update and fetch dependencies.

fd .nix --exclude flake.nix --exec update-nix-fetchgit

fd .nix --exclude flake.nix --exec sh -c 'echo {}; update-nix-fetchgit {}'

• Format files.
