# dotfiles 2.0
This repository fully describes my current NixOS user environment in a completely reproducible manner using [home-manager](https://github.com/rycee/home-manager/).
Coupling this with the declarative system configuration in [nixos_system](https://code.kummerlaender.eu/nixos_system) I am able to trivially maintain a common computing environment across multiple machines.
Furthermore it is possible to reproduce this environment on a new computer within half an hour given a sufficiently good network connection.
## Overview
The desktop environment consisting of XMonad, custom theming and a selection of utilities and applications is configured by the derivations in the `gui` folder. e.g. check out `gui/xmonad.nix` and `gui/gtk.nix` to get started.
`home-manager` doesn't have to be installed in the user environment and is only required for applying the configuration.
```sh
nix-shell --command "home-manager switch"
```
This shell also provides the `niv` utility used for updating the fixed channels.
## Host specific config
The `host` folder contains a selection of host specific definitions to be selected by symlinking the desired configuration as `host/current.nix`.
## Modules
Recently I started to develop a kind of _module_ to generate application shortcuts that are then easily launchable via Rofi. This is very useful for quickly starting shells and editors in project-specific `nix-shell` environments or maintaining generic playground environments for various programming languages. See `tasks/default.nix` and `module/tasker.nix` for details.
