      1 # My Dotfiles!
      2 
      3 Welcome to my repository! Here you'll find my dotfiles, but not just plain dotfiles, a *[home-manager](https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/) config*!
      4 
      5 ## Installation
      6 
      7 ### Requirements
      8 
      9 - [Git](https://git.org)
     10 - [Nix the package manager](https://nixos.org/download/)
     11 - [Home Manager](https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/)
     12 
     13 For user-services I use [runit](https://smarden.org/runit) which is the default service supervisor of [Void Linux](https://voidlinux.org).
     14 
     15 ### Instruction
     16 
     17 You've got the `home-manager`-command, which uses the default path `~/.config/home-manager`.
     18 
     19 Remove this directory with as you want my config as a basis: 
     20 ```bash
     21 $ rm -rf ~/.config/home-manager
     22 ```
     23 
     24 Then clone this repository into just removed location with:
     25 ```bash
     26 $ git clone https://github.com/friedelschoen/dotfiles ~/.config/home-manager
     27 ```
     28 
     29 **IMPORTANT** Home Manager is curious about you and your home-directory. As your name probably isn't Friedel, change your username and homeDirectory in `home.nix` (these two lines are marked with '# EDIT ME').
     30 
     31 
     32 Now the magic begins...!
     33 
     34 Home Manager is respects you and your own configuration so you don't need to worry it removes files.
     35 
     36 You can build this project with:
     37 ```bash
     38 $ home-manager build
     39 ```
     40 
     41 If everything went right, there should be a `./result`-directory (well actually a symbolic link to a directory but who asked). Congrats, youself just built your new home. It's time to move and make everything appear in place:
     42 ```bash
     43 $ home-manager switch
     44 ```
