Personal NixOS/MacOS declarative config

NixOS + MacOS configuration

This repository contains my personal configuration for NixOS and MacOS. It's a Nix flake that provides configuration modules for both systems.

Files	Purpose
flake.nix	The main entry point, defines configuration for two machines: x86_64-linux NixOS and aarch64-darwin MacOS.
globals.nix	An attrs set with some global values. Propogated to all modules.
private.nix	An attrs set with some global values that are personal data. Encrypted by git-crypt. Propogated to all modules.
hm/*.nix	home-manager configuration modules that shared between NixOS and MacOS.
nixos/*.nix	NixOS configuration modules. home.nix is a top-level home-manager module. hardware-configuration.nix is a hardware configuration and also encrypted by git-crypt.
darwin/*.nix	nix-darwin configuration modules. home.nix is a top-level home-manager module.
