Install (Other OS)

1. Download

   git clone https://github.com/yutkat/dotfiles.git
   cd dotfiles

2. Edit Configuration

   vi flake.nix
   # myHosts = {

3. Install nix (+flake +home-manager)

   ./install.sh

4. Setup (installing tools)

   # Default user and hostname
   home-manager switch --flake .#<hostname>
   
   # If you override NIX_USERNAME
   NIX_USERNAME=your_username home-manager switch --impure --flake .#<hostname>

5. Link dotfiles (managed by [dotfiles] in .config/mise/config.toml)

   # First run: ~/.config/mise is not linked yet, so point mise at the repo config
   mise trust .config/mise/config.toml
   MISE_GLOBAL_CONFIG_FILE="$PWD/.config/mise/config.toml" mise dotfiles apply
   
   # After the first run
   mise dotfiles apply

   Link sources are relative to the repo's .config/mise/, so any clone location works without extra configuration.
